Changes to Discussion Groups (newsgroups)

We had mentioned our newsgroups earlier and they are in our links box on the right as well as on our homepage. A couple of changes have been made:

We've added a Mehuron Ancestry newsgroup newsgroup for discussion of Tam's ancestors; and

The group previously called "Dunn-Mehuron" was always intended as a discussion for our family and friends, not a family history group. It's been changed to "Tam and Michael's Family Forum." I guess I see this one as a way for us to talk to all our extended family and have a multisided conversation. I hope our family, or at least the newsgroup-savvy ones, will agree. C'mon over and lets talk a spell.

Come on around and try us. If you've never gotten into newsgroups, it can be habit-forming.

NOTE: The meds have kicked in and now I'm feeling better, obviously. I'm back to rearranging our web presence. Who knows, I may actually do some real work too.

Dunn Central

Pretty much all of our web presence, including our office sites, newsgroups etc. can be reached with one click from this blog homepage, but we've now also made our main family website at www.tamandmichael.com a central nexus for navigating among our sites. Hope it works.

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.
