=== Computer Networks and Bulletin Boards ===

Computers with modems can be useful tools for obtaining information from selected archives and libraries. In a way, computer networks themselves serve as a library. The Internet, certain computer bulletin boards, and commercial on-line services help family history researchers:  

*Locate other researchers.  

*Post queries.  

*Send and receive E-mail.  

*Search large databases.  

*Search computer libraries.  

*Join in computer chat and lecture sessions.

You can find computerized research tips and information about ancestors from Manitoba in a variety of sources at local, state, national, and international levels. The list of sources is growing rapidly. Most of the information is available at no cost.
