Are there other online resources for genealogy? See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge and de.sci.genealogie? The two Usenet newsgroups of interest to German genealogists are soc.genealogy.german and de.sci.genealogie. If you are trying to understand something, find a resource, get advice, or find relatives, post to soc.genealogy.german. If you prefer to read German-language postings only, then read de.sci.genealogie. Soc.genealogy.german is an unmoderated Usenet news group for queries and discussion of all matters relating to German genealogy. "German" here refers to language, and thus explicitly includes German, German- American, Austrian, Swiss, Alsatian, Luxembourger, Liechtensteiner and Eastern European German genealogy. The newsgroup is available at <news:soc.genealogy.german> and its original charter can be found at <http://www.genealogy.net/faqs/cfv> When posting, only simple text should be used; MIME, HTML, enclosures, binaries, and pictures should be avoided. Commercial postings should go to soc.genealogy.marketplace, not soc.genealogy.german. New posters automagically receive a warm and informative welcome e-mail. For those without news access, soc.genealogy.german is mirrored to e-mail lists in digest, message, and index mode. Subscription requests should be sent to GEN-DE-D-request@rootsweb.com if you want individual postings combined into circa 32KB digests as MIME attachments (normal digest mode), to GEN-DE-NMD-request@rootsweb.com if you want the 32KB digests sent as one long message (non-MIME digest mode), to GEN-DE-L-request@rootsweb.com if you want messages sent individually (mail mode), or to GEN-DE-I-request@rootsweb.com if you want only message subject lines in a daily index (index mode). Put the word "subscribe" in the message body, no quotes. You will receive a confirmation and additional instructions. To unsubscribe, send the message "unsubscribe" instead, with no quotes, to the request address for which you are subscribed, from the account that is subscribed. Postings by e-mail (not subscription requests) go to GEN-DE-L@rootsweb.com. See also <http://www.genealogy.net/misc/listserv-e.html> The gen-de archives from 8 Dec 1995 onwards may be searched online at <http://searches.rootsweb.com/gen-de.html> Postings may also be viewed online in threaded format at <http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/GEN-DE/> There have been short periods when the gen-de to soc.genealogy.german mirror has failed, resulting in the existence of a few messages only in the newsgroup and others only in the e-mail lists. Thus you may also wish to consult a Usenet archive such as Google.com: <soc.genealogy.german">http://groups.google.com/groups?group=soc.genealogy.german> Soc.genealogy.surnames.german was an automoderated Usenet newsgroup with strict subject line requirements. It has not functioned since 22 June 2000. Its archives are still useful, however. See <http://www.rootsweb.com/~surnames/> De.sci.genealogie is an unmoderated German-language-only Usenet newsgroup for genealogy and related subjects, regardless of geographical region or ethnicity.
