| 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.
