Why Post Your Ancestry Info Here?

The Van Buren Co. IAGenWeb Boards are the perfect vehicle for researchers to share information in a convenient manner. This information will be available in a searchable format for years to come. We encourage those who visit the Van Buren Co. Boards to not only search for information that might be useful to them, but to also "leave behind" a little of their own research so that other's might share in what each submitter has about their own ancestors. This can be done by entering Obit. info, Bible Records, etc. that may enable other researchers to "find you" through a trail you've left behind. Thanks for sharing!
