Wells Gazette Bulletin Board System: Announcements - the average user will not be able to post here as this will be used by the family board and the site admin to post important information to share with the users.

Wells Gazette Bulletin Board System: Hatched, Matched & Dispatched - the naming of this section comes from a news paper in England that named its Birth's, Death's & Marriages section this way. The idea for this area is for all to post these important announcements

Meet & Greet: Introductions - this area is for the members to post a little about themselves in order to help getting to know each other.

General Discussion Board: Family History - this section has been established in order for the families to discuss tracing the family line as well as to share sources and resources.

General Discussion Board: Anything Discussion Board - this was created in order to give us an area to discuss anything we feel like.

Computer Help: Site Problems - this has been created in order for users to be able to post problems they are having with the site as well as to share suggestions.
