Genealogy Newsgroups, Messageboards 
Newsgroups are much like mailing lists. You
"subscribe", "unsubscribe"
and "post" messages as you would to a
mailing list. A newsgroup is unable to send you
messages unless a viewer in the group responds
directly to you. You are able to view all posted
messages within a newsgroup.
Messageboards are places where persons with
similar interests gather to discuss a specific
topic. You "post" messages and a viewer
responds to posted messages by filling out a
board's form. You are able to view all posted
messages within a messageboard.
Please send your message to the Webmaster
if you have an addition to our genealogy
newsgroups or message boards, or would like to
contribute your valuable comments regarding a
selection presented. We are happy to hear from
you and best of luck with your research!

Internet Service Providers. Please contact your
ISP to request that they provide the service if
you are unable to enter a newsgroup.
These newsgroups are primarily interested in
history and genealogy, and moderated to keep in
line with the topic. Click a below link and your
