| Introducing the New Des Moines County Boards sponsored
by IowaGenWeb
Introduction:
Since GenConnect
combined all their boards to one board and made it more difficult for
users, we stopped using that
system.
We encourage everyone to post to
our State level board system which provides better local control.
This new
board system will display postings like you are
accustomed, and it has some exciting new features we think you will
enjoy.
Click on the Board Link to the right to go to
the actual board.
You may view information already posted, or you may add
to the board, by using the "Post New Message" link.
The various Boards are intended for the posting
of specific information as indicated in the title of each
Board.
Please be sure when posting information that
you are not quoting from any copyrighted material (this is
especially important for Obituaries and Biographies; when in doubt,
summarize or paraphrase) and that you are listing sources for the
information.
Abstracts are acceptable where appropriate.
