Forum: Finding Your Feet on the Brit-Gen Forums

Here at Brit-Gen, we are a community trying to help each other rather than just a family history forum. The forum is very large, but if you take your time and also read the FAQs, you will learn to navigate around the site quite easily. Below are main topic headings, each contains several boards which you are encouraged to explore and where you can post messages. Look near the top of the screen and you'll see 'Search' where you can look for messages that have already been posted about specific names and subjects.

  1. Welcome

    Don't just lurk on Brit-Gen as a guest. Get registered, introduce yourself and post your family history queries. I should mention that unlike some sites, you do have to be accepted before you can make a post (this is to prevent spammers, etc.) but acceptance shouldn’t take too long.

    • Introduce Yourself

      Tell us about yourself, how long you have been researching and the problems you are having (or had) when trying to trace your family history. Please DO NOT post your research queries on this board as it is ONLY for introducing yourself. Once you have made your introduction, please take a look around the forum and post your queries on the relevant boards.
