NEW GENEALOGICAL Interest Group Forming
Description
This group is for people researching family history who are concerned
about abuses that hinder such research, and wish for constructive means to stop such
hindrances and promote fair exchange.
The Canadian census crisis I think is covered by that description as
well as certain companies who charge for information given freely to them by researchers.
We are hoping that this will prevent some off-subject discussions on
other surname or area-specific lists, while we are at it. Please let others know on lists
which have not received this message by tomorrow. You have permission to cut and paste to
invitations only.

Just don't do it while Yahoo is down. They posted this:
As noted on our web site earlier this week, the Yahoo! Groups service
will be down for scheduled maintenance Friday March 15 9:00 PM PST (GMT-8) as we move our
servers to a new facility. We expect the service to be restored late Saturday or early AM
Sunday March 17.
During this time the web site will be unavailable and email will not be
delivered. (Some users may experience email non-delivery notices, but email will be
delivered once service has resumed.) Please note: Once the service is back up, there will
be email delays due to backlog. We expect these delays to last no longer than 1 day.
Please do not resend email to your group as it will only add to delays.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
