===Message Boards===
*The posts on the [http://boards.ancestry.com.au/localities.asia.india.general/mb.ashx Rootsweb India Message Board] are gatewayed (reposted) to the India List so you only need to post once. Note that many people prefer to reply to the India List, rather than to the Message Board, (as you don't need a password for the former), so you are likely to get more immediate responses if you post your query on the India List. However, the Message Board has the advantage that you can include an attachment, such as a photograph. Also, it is probably better for replies which may be made in the future. For other countries, refer [http://boards.ancestry.com All Rootsweb Message Boards]. For more details, see the Rootsweb page [http://rootsweb.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3234/kw/Attachments How to post a new message or a reply on the message boards]
*[http://genforum.genealogy.com/ Genforum] is the website presented by Genealogy.com. Messages can be left on specific surname boards in addition to the [http://genforum.genealogy.com/india/ India Genealogy Forum] –or that of any other country. There are also general interest boards. All these message boards (or forums as they are called) can be browsed or searched by entering a specific word search. In addition to hosting message boards the site contains topics of general genealogical interest.
*[http://www.new.fibis.org/membership FIBIS Members] can post queries on the forum message board in the [http://www.members-area.fibis.org/ FIBIS Social Network]. A particularly useful feature is the facility to upload attachments - perhaps a photograph for help in identifying a uniform or place or a section of an historic document where the old handwriting cannot be deciphered easily.
