Asking for help

Last edited Fri Mar 24, 2017, 09:32 AM - Edit history (2)

Hello everyone! I am a Library Information Science Doctoral student at the University of South Carolina. I am currently doing some research on the attitudes of various demographics concerning genealogical/family research. I am asking if members would participate in a short and anonymous survey. I am NOT posting a link to this survey, because I am not sure about the rules concerning this type of thing concerning the board. If this board is against such procedures, please let me know. Thanks.

Since I have not heard any objections for me doing so, for those who wish to participate the survey can be found at this link

Even though I think most on here are not using their real names anyway, I or anyone on here will not even know your ID. I am looking at various race/ethnic groups and age groups' reasons for conducting genealogical/family research and how they feel about this type of research and if there are prevailing differences or not.
