Using Bulletin Boards
for Genealogy

Everything you wanted to know about using a Bulletin Board for Genealogy

Many Internet users may not be aware of the wealth of Genealogy information available on Bulletin Boards. The BBS that I use, has well over 150 Mb of zipped Genealogy indexes and programs. There are over 70 different Genealogy Message Areas available.

Bulletin Boards offer a friendly and much less expensive environment for Genealogists.
