When searching WorldConnect have you ever come across an entry in someone else's file and realized that you have additional or corrected information for this individual? Perhaps you have new information concerning an entry in your own WorldConnect GEDCOM, but too little to warrant uploading a new GEDCOM. All of the above situations are perfect for using a Post-em note.

To use a Post-em you should go to the page you wish to add to or correct. Click on the link that says ADD POST-EM. You will be asked for your name, e-mail address, your message, and as an option, a URL and description to link to a web page. You will also be asked to choose a password for your Post-em which will allow you, the creator of the Post-em (and ONLY you) to return to the note, and either edit or delete it.

Since WorldConnect GEDCOMS are owned by the submitter, the GEDCOM owner may elect to remove (but never edit) a Post-em created by a visitor. While the Post-em creator uses his password to edit or delete the note, the GEDCOM owner uses the database password to delete a Post-em.

Should you forget your WorldConnect database password, or your Post-em password, visit Password Central http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ and have it sent to you.
