| USENET Genealogy Newsgroups
|
- Genealogy Newsgroup Announcement - There are text newsgroups, where people exchange information and some just talk. Then there are binary newsgroups, where people actually post and download genealogy data, such as photos, maps, books, CDs, just about anything you can think of.
- What is USENET - Internet Exploration Station Information Center by Harley Hahn
- USENET Explained in Plain English - Usenet is a huge, globe-spanning network that is ten years older than the World Wide Web. In addition to hosting files, Usenet contains discussion groups. These groups pre-date the World Wide Web and have been largely supplanted by web forums. TG - Unlike the web, Usenet doesn�t have a built-in advertising mechanism.
- Genealogy
Newsgroups have been around a long time and eventually Rootsweb started mailing lists which are "Gatewayed" to the Usenet Newsgroup..
- Searchable archive of more than 700 million Deja News Research Service Archives of USENET postings from a period of more than 20 years, which Google purchased. USENET news .
- All groups > USENET (archived by Google) > soc . genealogy
- All groups > USENET (archived by Google) > alt
. genealogy
- All groups > USENET (archived by Google) > rec . heraldry
- Groups.google: soc.genealogy.italian - Google's USENET
reader easily lets you read Newsgroups via a browser without a "mail-list" signup.
Google purchased the old Deja News Archives
and still keeps them online.
- It is much better to read and respond to Newsgroups via a *real* Usenet Newsreader rather than a mail-list subscription for MANY reasons.
One reason is that real Usenet newsgroups (in their entirety) are archived on the Internet on Research Servers, University Servers, Undernet and other Internet Relay Chat (IRC) servers and others throughout the world. Another reason is that "mail-lists" like Rootsweb do not allow address munging , which is the easiest way to protect yourself from Spam when posting in a USENET newsgroup.
- In the Rootsweb archives of the Mail-list
"usenet" groups , posters' email addresses are easily viewable & obtainable by users of Linux and other Web Browsers such as Firefox & Opera although not viewable to most people using IE browsers . Unfortunately
newbies using
Mail-lists gatewayed to USENET tend to "freak-out" when a message they send to a munged address bounces. This stress can be avoided by self-education such as Usenet for Dummies . There are thousands of articles online on how to use Internet Newsgroups ; find articles you can easily understand.
- A few Internet service providers operate news-servers for their users to access as part of their related services most no longer include newsgroups as part of your subscription.
- There are also many, better Usenet Newsgroup services for a reasonable subscription fee such as giganews and usenetserver. There are many
newsgroup reader programs from which you can choose.
- It is best to learn to use a Usenet Newsreader like
Agent (Forte), MaxNews, Xnews, etc. to easily view & post to Usenet
groups without using a Web-browser although some few still use Outlook Express to READ the Usenet Groups
- REAL USENET NEWSGROUPS
are best accessed with an ad-free, unlimited service, newsgroup subscription to Giganews, Usenetserver, Supernews, Easynews, Newshosting, Astraweb, and more throughout the world using a VPN. All legit newsgroup servers allow easy access to various newsgroups such as these listed below:
- news:alt.genealogy
- news:soc.genealogy.italian
- news:rec.heraldry
- news:soc.genealogy.britain
- news:soc.genealogy.computing
- news:alt.binaries.cd.genealogy.d (d is for discussion)
- news:alt.binaries.e-book.genealogy
- and hundreds (maybe thousands) more on the Internet. Un-moderated groups are the best for getting the truth IF you lurk, read and learn by watching for awhile before posting. Or maybe never post. lol You will get to recognize Spam and Usenet Trolls and then it is very simple and easy to ignore or put into your "kill filter" which is not that easy or else impossible if you are in a mail-list unless it is tediously monitored. Newsgroups are GREAT since they do not fill up your email box.
- Public News Servers FREE access to text-only newsgroups - sites which allow free, public access via NNTP protocol to Usenet newsgroups. (you would use a newsreader with these) All servers listed in this category allow anyone to read articles. Some of the servers allow you to post messages.
- Free access to text-only newsgroups - sites which allow access to Usenet newsgroups via a web page.
- Web-based access to USENET newsgroups
- SPECIAL NOTES:
-
Utilizing address munging is one of the best way to avoid Spam from the Internet.
An easy way to disguise your email on USENET is simply to add words that anyone with a workable IQ could remove, such as; " [email protected] "
-- and other various. At the bottom of your message you might put in your real email in words only, without using the @ sign such as: Email: yourname [at] server [dot] com
IMHO subscribing to a newsgroup service is always a better choice on
USENET.
Regards Always,
