New Newsgroups

I haven't been blogging because I've been busy at work (so far I haven't tried blogging from work for fear of getting into a time-wasting habit) and doing other things in the evenings. I've created -- but so far done very little with -- some Google newsgroups for genealogy.

One is called Jones-Cleary. Back around 2001-2002 my cousin Steve Jones had a newsgroup that was very active for a while, raking in cousins. But it dwindled away. We're getting older, and genealogy gets frustrating if you aren't learning much. But I decided to revive it. Also created a Collins-Dunn one for my paternal side, one for The Estimate readers when we get back up and running, and a "Dunn-Mehuron" one intended as a family newsgroup exchange. I'll be letting everybody know about this when I let them know about the blog. (Meanwhile, no one is reading this anyway.)

I've put links to the newsgroups in the "Our Personal Links" box at the right. You need to ask to be members: just tell me who you are and why you want to join, and if your reasons are reasonably sane and nonviolent, I'll say yes.
