The Spanish Royal Forum
There is a website at www.fororeal.net that focuses on Spanish royalty. In fact, the name of the website, “Fororeal” is Spanish for Royal Forum. Fororeal has been online since July 1998. Until October 2007, it featured a guestbook open to anyone who cared to write in it, and the guestbook came to include 759 posts in the nearly ten years it was open. When the company that hosted the guestbook closed, so too did the guestbook, but Fororeal has kept the 759 posts of the now-closed guestbook online. These posts can be seen online here.

The AbruzzoForum is a genealogy website for the Abruzzo region of Italy. People have been logging in to this forum since 1998 to share family history information, find long-lost relatives, and learn about this part of Italy.
Several threads on AbruzzoForum.com mention Dawn, but one old thread named "Ciao - I have just found this link" from the "Archived Heritage Forums" section of that website contains posts Dawn wrote and responded to. The first post here was written by Lucio on 09/15/1999. Dawn responded to him on 01/18/2000. Several months later, Bill posted on 08/29/2002. A few hours later, Dawn responded to Bill at 3:14 PM, and then again a few minutes later at 3:21 PM.
There are several other posts on this old thread, including one written by Dawn's cousin Nicole on 12/15/2002. To see the entire thread, re-open Lucio's post and scroll down.
Another old thread on the AbruzzoForum, titled "Corfinio", has a post written by Marc on 12/22/1998. Just over a year later, Dawn responded to Marc on 01/19/2000. Alessandro Gasbarro responded to Dawn some 20 months after that, on 11/22/2001. To see the entire thread including many other posts, click here.
