Mailing Lists (a.k.a. Email Discussion Groups)

Being part of a mailing list is like having your own virtual research community. It's an easy way to network with other genealogists to share distant ancestors, get answers to questions, request lookups and swap research stories. Genealogy mailing lists are free, fun and are often one of the best online possibilities for filling in some of the blanks in your family tree. These same lists not only help you find information about your ancestors but many times can connect you with people who have research interests similar to yours.

Below are mailing pertinent to Etowah County and Alabama research in general and specialized areas of research.  You can join one, two or even all the lists.  Remember, it's free!

Once you find a list of interest, you can join by sending an email that automatically adds you to a list of subscribers.
