Message Boards

One of the best ways to help connect to other researchers, is to post messages on public forums. We suggest that you visit the Haywood County Message Board on Ancestry.com, and to any of the Surname Message Boards for the surnames you are researching. Ancestry Boards are free, the only requirement is to register for a free account in order to post and receive notification of responses to your posts. Make sure that you select a Board that best suits your question about either the Location or the Surname of the subject of your post.

Tips for Posting Messages

Remember that when posting a message to any public forum, whether they are Message Boards, or on Facebook, you should be clear and concise as to what you are looking for. In the Subject line, you should include the Name, Location, and a Time Frame at the very least, then in the Body of the message, a more detailed description of the individual and/or family saying what other records you have looked through and where, will better enable others to help you in your research. Never ask for "all the records that you have..." or similar wording when requesting research help, one should always be specific and courteous in any message posted on a public forum, and you will get much better results because researchers are more likely to read through a well-worded message than one that gives little or no details.
