| In a genealogical forum, you can ask a specific question about an ancestor or a product used in family history research.  It is helpful if questions are posted in the area related to a particular discussion, or community members can start a new discussion related to their query.  Find out the rules as a forums member.  For example, some forums allow attachments and some do not, and it is not proper to advertise products in a forum post or spam forum members.  That is one sure way of getting blocked from a forum. Those who answer posts can be professional genealogists or enthusiasts who have a good working knowledge of the topic.   | In a genealogical forum, you can ask a specific question about an ancestor or a product used in family history research.  It is helpful if questions are posted in the area related to a particular discussion, or community members can start a new discussion related to their query.  Find out the rules as a forums member.  For example, some forums allow attachments and some do not, and it is not proper to advertise products in a forum post or spam forum members.  That is one sure way of getting blocked from a forum.
