Welcome to the Jacak Message Board! 

My name is Cherie Cayemberg and I’m the administrator for this board.

 

Please ensure that all posts are relevant to this board.  If posts are found to be irrelevant to this board I will do my best to relocate them to the appropriate board, if one exists.  If an appropriate board cannot be found and they are not relevant, they will be deleted.

Do not post information about living people without their express consent!

Always be respectful in your posts.  Message boards are not the place for bickering or insults.  Any post that is rude, threatening or uses foul language will be deleted and the person will be reported.

Do not use this Message Board to sell your services or other products.  This is not the place for it.  Anyone offering paid services on this Message Board will have their post deleted and will be reported.  If you would like to conduct for-hire research services on Ancestry.com please check out their “Hire an Expert” link at the top right of any page.  You can register so others can hire you there.

BEWARE of anyone offering to sell you their services on any Message Board!  Professional Genealogists do NOT troll Message Boards looking for clientele!

Try to make your SUBJECT line as specific as you can.  For example, putting “John Smith” as a subject on a Smith message board is perhaps too broad because of how common the name is.  Putting, “John Smith, Luzerne Co, PA 1800s” would give people a better idea of who exactly you are looking for.  Also, restating the Message Board title in the subject line and nothing else is not helpful and doesn’t tell other researchers what it is you are looking for.  Having a subject line that is too broad will most likely result in FEWER rather than more hits.  Most researchers are busy and do not have time to go through every message on a popular message board.  You stand a much better chance of not only getting others to read your post if you are specific, but getting the RIGHT people to read it and make those connections you are looking for!

I have several Message Boards to administer to and will be checking the boards as frequently as possible.  If you notice anything that doesn’t seem right, is offensive, irrelevant, etc please don’t hesitate to email me and bring it to my attention.

Good luck in your research!
