Participation

Our rules are meant to ensure that all members can freely enjoy using the site. Anyone not working within the guidelines may receive a moderator warning. Ignoring a warning may result in the individual being banned from posting on the site.

Use your proper name

Please sign posts with your proper name. Improper and/or anonymous posts will be removed and a warning issued.

Relevant topics only

The site is specifically designed for the sharing of local/family history resources. Please limit any enquiries and comments to relevant topics. We are aware site users need to talk to each other to exchange content details, but this is NOT a chat room. Inappropriate off-topic postings will be removed and a moderator warning issued.

Please be civil

Insults, name calling and swearing will not be tolerated. Entering into arguments or disagreements is the remit of social media and isn't appropriate here and will be removed, and a warning issued.

Respect privacy

Don't share private information about third parties or third party email contacts without permission.
