&lt;br /&gt;
Welcome to the Forum ssarcheck2,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To create a new topic you need to find the icon &amp;quot;newtopic&amp;quot; and click on it. You need to be logged in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I attached a print screen (look for black arrow).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I also moved your post as a new topic here: &lt;a href=&quot;https://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?t=11777&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;postlink&quot;&gt;https://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?t=11777&lt;/a&gt;</description>

                                      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                                      In case you missed the email announcement about “Our members' forums of interest” including personal invitations from their founders and hosts click here for the PO Newsletter Archives: &lt;a href=&quot;http://polishorigins.com/12all/index.php?action=message&amp;amp;c=39&amp;amp;message=51&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://polishorigins.com/12all/index.php?action=message&amp;amp;c=39&amp;amp;message=51&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few days ago we opened a new forum entitled: &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.polishorigins.com/viewforum.php?f=33&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;postlink&quot;&gt;Polish genealogy and relatives search in Australia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; . Its initiator, &lt;a href=&quot;http://polishorigins.com/Sylvia+Jones&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;postlink&quot;&gt;Sylvia&lt;/a&gt;, has been with us for many years. Three years ago she wrote a story in which she told us a little about her life and family history, click here: &lt;a href=&quot;http://polishorigins.com/document/sylvias_story&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;postlink&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Sylvia's Story&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We already had a few “Polish - Australian episodes” in our website like:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;Ted's story: &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://polishorigins.com/document/teds_story&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;postlink&quot;&gt;I am Australian. Of Polish Descent.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Basia's blog: &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.polishorigins.com/category/basias-tour/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;postlink&quot;&gt;An Aussie trying to find her Polish Roots.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, or &lt;br /&gt;
Discussions in our Forum, for example about emigration on the Anna Salen ship: &lt;a href=&quot;http://polishorigins.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=155&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://polishorigins.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=155&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Now you have the opportunity to try to get an advice about your Polish Australian genealogy search from Sylvia. Just go to her forum: &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.polishorigins.com/viewforum.php?f=33&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;postlink&quot;&gt;Polish genealogy and relatives search in Australia&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;images/smiles/icon_exclaim.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Exclamation&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;</description>

                                      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                                      Thank you Bill on behalf of myself and, I strongly believe, hundreds of current and future readers of your forum &lt;img src=&quot;images/smiles/icon_exclaim.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Exclamation&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a generous offer and a great idea &lt;img src=&quot;images/smiles/icon_smile.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Smile&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;. And this was our main goal of creating our PolishOrigins Forum - sharing our knowledge and experience related to this so wide subject of Polish genealogy. I believe that if shared, this collective wisdom could save hours of pointless and frustrating work for others. I think that Shellie expressed that idea best when she commented to another researcher: &amp;quot;(...) There is a spirit of sharing and discovery here among the members of PolishOrigins and I think that you will enjoy being part of the crowd (full post: &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?p=1260#1260&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?p=1260#1260&lt;/a&gt; ). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I created a new section of our Forum entitled &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.polishorigins.com/index.php?c=10&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;postlink&quot;&gt;Our members' forums of interest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and set up there your forum Bill: &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.polishorigins.com/viewforum.php?f=29&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;postlink&quot;&gt;Polish Gorals - Highlanders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. You have granted rights of moderator of this forum which means you can control what is going on there, including deleting posts which are inappropriate (for any reasons) to be posted (which is very rare here).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you have any comments, questions or ideas about how it should work, feel free to ask here or by private message.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;I also invite others who might be interested in creating their own forum in any subject related to Polish genealogy. This is  YOUR Forum &lt;img src=&quot;images/smiles/icon_exclaim.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Exclamation&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;</description>

                                      Zenon, Could I start a new FORUM? I am heavily into the Polish Goral &amp;quot;Highlander&amp;quot; area of Galicia. I  am a charter member of TARG (Tatra Area Research Group) for over 10 years now. I would like to have a separate area for forum users if that would be possible. I have plenty of maps, stories and pictures that I could post. Please share your thoughts on this subject.  I just didn't want it mixed in another forum and be buried with the other posts. Thanks, Bill    PS- &amp;quot;Polish Goral &amp;quot;Highlanders&amp;quot;  looks good to me &lt;img src=&quot;images/smiles/icon_smile.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Smile&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;</description>
