Hi List Wonder if any of you have seen this........Enjoy! Originally from Rod Neep. Thanks Rod. ============ The British-Genealogy.com Project =============== http://www.british-genealogy.com A NEW GENEALOGY WEB SITE *AND* BRITISH GENEALOGY MAILING LISTS British-Genealogy.com is dedicated to assisting people with their British family history research. Not just to find ancestors and build a family tree, but to put meat on the bones with information about where they lived, how they lived their lives, information about their occupations, and what influenced their thinking and decision making. Real family history - not just collecting names and dates Our aim is to give you guidance, pointers towards carrying out good quality, sound research, and help on how to find the relevant sources of information that will help you in your quest. To begin with, we are giving you one of the most valuable resources available on the internet - help from each other and from the experts. These are the genealogy mailing lists, which are discussion forums on various topics, and geographical areas. When you have a question then this is the first place to ask for help. This is totally free. NEW mailing lists have been set up in a clear, logical, easy to use and easy to find system, one for each county in Britain, together with some more general top and specific topic mailing lists. They are open and running now at http://www.british-genealogy.com Once you subscribe to one of the British-Genealogy mailing lists, you are provided with your own page where you can set up your own preferences for how you receive the messages, subscribe to different mailing lists, turn off the mail when you go on holiday, or remove yourself from a mailing list. You are in total control, even if you change your email address. So.... go now, and look at http://www.british-genealogy.com It is a great new project.... and different! ** There is no daily newsletter, junk mail, or similar from British Genealogy.com. There isn't even a master list kept of all email addresses. ** The British-Genealogy web site will be totally free. (No pay to view subscriptions). I don't have any problem with pay to own, for example a certificate, book, CD or copy of a parish register, but I do not think that it is right to have to pay to locate an ancestor. I have always stood by this principle, and hence my close contacts with FreeBMD, FreeCEN and FreeREG. ** The lists are easy to locate, and there is *only* one list for a county instead of several confusingly named ones. The new lists are in a very uniform and logical format, with meaningful list names, and the facility to have sub divisions of a county where necessary if there are distinct cultural areas. But we won't be having any "pseudo" county lists (modern counties) or regional lists that cover more than one county. Nor will we be having any list duplication. ** The whole thing is run on a different type of mailing list software to what people normally know. It allows each user to control how they configure their own list subscriptions with a login to their *own* configuration page, and it has some pretty neat features too, such as suspend mail whilst on vacation, or simply switch between list and digest mode. ** Archives are brilliantly searchable. A person can search them *and* sort them by poster name, thread, or date, or subject line. They can be made accessible to subscribers only, or to anybody, (depending on how the list admin sets it up). So.... go now, and look at http://www.british-genealogy.com and join any of the - to help you with your research, and to have the opportunity to help others.
