How many times I have posted to a Message board either on Genforum or Ancestry.com and I Have received a reply.
It works it has worked for me over 7 times. I have posted to specific sub topics/Family name board. I have received a message back. It s normally a couple of years or less. In 2010 I received a reply to a post that was almost 3 yrs. old. They were so helpful.
I believe the only way someone is going to find out who your looking for is to let others know who your looking for. By every means necessary.
My list includes: Blog
GenForum.com
Ancestry.com
Web sites that allow you post your research
Join your local Genealogy History Society, they will have a member section should allow you to list out who your researching.
Volunteer for Find A Grave [Found a 8x removed cousin]
Your family web site [if you have one]
Sign Guest books of family web sites [ I found a cousin by this method it was non genealogy related though].
Happy Posting to these wonderful resources. Remember to verify before you accept as fact.
