Of general interest: Because of FAQs, also off the lists: For a full list of German regional genealogy lists, with instructions on how to join each of them, see http://members.aol.com/gfsjohnf/gen_mail_country-ger.html And please note: Many beginner's questions answered to the list could be avoided if lister would inform *first* what rich info "Rootsweb.com" and other well known web sites, such as "Cyndi's List" and "Genealogy.net" provide. Besides providing a lot of genealogical info there are archives you can search for surnames and certain terms from former postings' contents. Try to have a look on these and other web sites to experience their helpful contents! Make a genealogical voyage on the web.
