Genetic genealogy mailing lists and Facebook groups

From ISOGG Wiki

(Redirected from Genetic genealogy mailing lists)

Mailing lists and forums can be a useful way of making contact with other researchers and comparing notes with other genetic genealogists. The genetic genealogy mailing lists are hosted either by Yahoo or Rootsweb. With both companies there is an option to subscribe either in individual e-mail mode or digest mode.
