This Genealogy Chat Room is a place where people from all over the world can meet to discuss genealogy (family history), seek advice, exchange information
and make new friends. You may even find your long lost cousins here, it has happened before.
You must log in to Looking 4 Kin Genealogy Chat Room every 30 days to keep your account open, after that you may loose your login name.
Please post your surnames in CAPS each time you enter the genealogy chat room. Greet each person who enters the chat and post your names again.
Use full names of places, North Dakota instead of ND. The chat is worldwide and we do not know all the abbreviations.
Each person who enters the chat room is to be greeted by all in the room and asked what names they are researching. Each person in the room will
post their names in CAPS everytime someone enters.
Chatters can very soon become friends. Regulars will know they have no common ancestry and the conversation will drift. While the focus of this
chat room is genealogy, it is impossible to keep it 100 % genealogy and have a room that is friendly and that people will want to return to.
What we need here is a happy medium. Genealogy chat but also keep in mind that when doing genealogy you learn lifestyles, culture, geography etc.
Common sense is needed.
We have no problem with the chat straying from genealogy from time to time. But when different people enter the room IT IS EXPECTED that the chat
will return to genealogy.
It is our hope that the room will always contain at least 2 helpers. These are easily recognized by the fact their names appear in blue in list.
Our helpers will have a good knowledge of this site and general genealogy. They are also here to protect chatters from unwelcome guests, or unsuitable
language or subject. They are not here to police the good chatters. They are here to help. They are not here to make demands on, nor to do your research.
Obscene language or profanity, be it full words or abbreviations.
Constant disruption of the chat.
Gossip.
Discussion of other chat rooms - good or bad.
Asking personal questions of chatters - example: age, sex.
Use of color, sounds, emotions and actions.
Posting of your website if it is a pay for service site.
This will prevent it from becoming "Just Another Chat Room".
instead help us grow. The site is still in the baby stages. We are non commercial meaning we can't afford to buy top listings in search engines.
When you log into the chat please stay long enough for us to get back to the chat window and type hello. Many of you log in and immediatly leave,
only to have someone else do the same a very shortly after. The chat would be busy if everyone just hung around waiting for the next person to enter.
If no one is here turn your sound up so you can hear people enter and go surfing in a different window.
