I'm new to genealogy. This update incorporates changes suggested by several readers. This includes discussion of software features and problems, reviews of genealogy software, computerized methods, hardware for genealogical computing and the use of Internet in genealogy. Commercial postings are discouraged, though one-time announcements of new products and upgrades are welcome. Non-computing topics, such as surname and locality queries, libraries, definitions and items for sale, should be posted to more appropriate newsgroups in the soc.genealogy.
All posts appearing on one also appear on the other.
