Hi
I answered this lady's message privately since a lot of what I mentioned to her
didn't concern genealogy (if you want copy of what I sent her just let me know and I
will send directly to your email address [I never give out addresses or sell them either])
- but, below are many places you can go or subscribe to for lists, messages, groups and
getting various genealogy information. As far as I know all these links are still good.
There was a series on the television a few years ago that had a place where teachers and
families could go and it taught step-by-step how to do genealogy and many questions and a
LOT of forms you could download and print for your own use. Unfortunately I can't
seem to find the address -- but in the meantime I hope some of this will help at least one
person.
http://genforum.genealogy.com/
yahoo.com has lots of various message, lists and groups for all subjects - like if you
want recipes they have where you exchange brand-name recipes here:
brandnamerecipes(a)yahoogroups.com
arcamax.com has lots of message, lists, groups you can get sent to you daily too: like
the Doonsbury cartoon, health issues, etc.;
bottomline.secrets.com has lots of health
stuff too;
www.tias.com has collectible stuff, recipes and lots of wonderful things too as well as
the archives for Mama's Kitchen, the TIAS archives of collectible stuff, and the
archives for the TIAS recipes - one of my favorite sites (but if you just want to find a
specific recipe go to
http://www.cook-books.com/dbaccess.htm (you have to make a userid
but from then on once you sign in you have literally MILLIONS of recipes at your hand)
hotmail.com - I think this also has various message, lists, clubs etc that you can get
mail and info from

various messages or lists that you can either view through archives or subscribe to
getting message via email automatically
