Out of curiosity I just had a brief look at Gen-Books and Gen-Mat lists Although they have what appears to be a healthy volume of posts, a cursory inspection shows that they are all from three commercial businesses (the same three on both lists) So anyone subscribing to those lists will either need to have an interest in their offerings or would quickly unsub I wonder how many are subscribed to them (3 perhaps?) I think the theory is good but they simply don't work except as an avenue for businesses to advertise their wares Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 16/02/2013 15:13, Lynne wrote: > What about the Genealogical Materials mailing lists?
