Dear genealogy friends Almost every message that is posted to a newsgroup on the internet is archived in the databases at deja.com. This international source of information (made up by you, me and the rest of the world in any possible language) can be consulted via their searchmechanism. To make it even more simple I created a free and non-commercial, pre-programmed usenet search facility for the deja.com (genealogy)archives. Specially tuned for fast and easy (re)search in 64 genealogy newsgroups from all over the world, abt. 410000 postings are searched within seconds. Its also possible to refine your search by country, topic or newsgroup or use the Author Profile Search You can find the site at: http://www.kuijsten.net/usenet_search/genealogy.html Suggestion: Search for surnames, locations, or e-mail addresses. It can be useful to find out this way if someone else was looking for the same data as you. There is also an option to search for keys in last years postings in all 45.0000 ! discussion forums at deja (abt. 180000000 postings!) Maybe you can find some useful information from the past, reread all your usenet postings, or just review that ludicrous flame... It's just a simple tool, Sometimes the results are a bit foggy, but always better then nothing. Enjoy yourself with the usenet genealogy archives searchpage!!
