Introduction The discussion group allows users of the English Origins service to share ideas, experiences and to establish contact with other users of our service. When you become a member you will receive any email that another member sends to the group. Previous messages can be viewed . It is also possible for users to chat to each other in real time using the web interface. To get an idea of the range of topics this group might cover, you may find it interesting to have a quick look at the type of posting which members make to Origins.net's Scots Origins discussion group for Scots users of our Scots Origins service.
Users often help each other in their searches and find common ancestors.
The English Origins group may evolve in a different direction, since the range of types of information available on English Origins is much broader than on Scots Origins. But it is YOU will determine this. At the end of the day you will receive one email containing all of the subject lines of the messages with a link to each. Moderation ALL messages will be moderated by the group owner to ensure that the content is suitable for displaying the message on the web and for emailing to the group members. Although this may result in a delay between sending messages to the group and the messages reaching members, it allows the blocking of mail that abuses the service.
