Question for very experienced genealogists?
by Mind Bender

I have been doing this seriously for 25 years. And do support many genealogy boards (just started supporting this one) because many experienced people helped me out when I first got started and quite frankly, it's fun. But my "circle" that I have been part of for these 25 years, just because of years passing, is getting smaller.

Does anyone know of a forum/board that is really geared for the very experienced genealogist. I've not been able to find one.

ANSWERS by zhou and guo:

Wendy suggested the Natl Gen Society. Other than that I know of no genealogical society or forum open to the general public. Other popular genealogy sites are quite for the newbies. Often, too, there are self-taught experts with no where to go. They must attend genealogical conferences and university functions to make any head way in their careers or past-time activities.

One could contribute one's knowledge to the community or

Answer 2

guys, I think you are still not quite picking up on the system here in yahoo answers.

mind benders question is his question, and was CLOSED a while back. A question is a short term posting, not a discussion.

In ALL honesty, the level of questions here is very very basic, for the most part. Persons new to genealogy in any form. The person who POSTS the question is given the chance to select what he/she feels is the best answer. And yes.. there are times when the poster selects answers that fits what they want to hear, even if not genealogically of good quality. Done... no debate, or discussion. If the poster fails to select an answer, it rolls into voting.

Most of the experienced persons here already know the more specialized sites on the web.

Here is NOT the best place for exposure and such to other highly qualified researchers. If your own specialty is Chinese ancestry, perhaps you might be researching what is already offered here on the net, and building the better mousetrap. I am gearing to ask how (or if) there are records comparable to the US census, for example, where I might research Yee Chong Siu, who migrated ca 1883 from China. I already posted a question about this family, and thought you might have some input.

Commercial soliciting here on yahoo answers is against the rules.

Answer 3

There aren't threads in Yahoo!Answers and you really shouldn't go to resolved questions and repost someone else's question. If you want to ask the same question yourself, then by all means do so. But don't repost a resolved question just to provide an answer.



I originally asked that question about 4 months ago I believe and was quite satisfied with the answers received.
