| Apr 11, 2013 at 2:20 | comment | added | yannis | @TomAu Cross posting (posting exactly the same question on multiple sites) should be avoided in general. However, a recent change in migration protocol disabled migration for questions older than 60 days (even for moderators). So, given that it's technically impossible to migrate the question in question, cross posting is next available option (not sure if it's a good option, I'm not familiar enough with the subject matter to know if the question should be asked on the new Genealogy site). | |

You could even provide a link back to the original question here if you wanted. We usually don't migrate a question unless it is just completely out of place here, but cross posting is not uncommon. | |
| Mar 1, 2013 at 9:34 | comment | added | stephenmyall | @Steven Drennon yes, i was thinking along these lines myself, however I am totally satisfied with answers I got here on "History". My thinking behind the OP was that those on the Genealogy stack exchange could benefit more. | |
