[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Other mailing lists for Germans from Russia

[Jerry Frank]

Just to fill in some additional info to Bob's posting -

Prior to October of 2001 when our mailing list was established, most 
Volhynian discussions took place on the "nodak" lists.  I don't recall 
if much Russian Poland discussion took place there.  At that time we had 
the cooperation and blessing of Michael Miller, the nodak lists owner, 
in setting up our own mailing list.  Since that time, the nodak list 
activity has dropped off dramatically and Volhynia info there is 
virtually nil.  The nodak archives before that time are certainly worth 
browsing through.  Some additional info on English language GR lists:




GR-GENEALOGY List (nodak)- 553 subscribers, 9 postings in the month of 
May, 7 of them announcements by Michael Miller, the list owner.

GR-HERITAGE List (nodak) - 360 subscribers, 27 postings in month of May, 
14 of them announcements by Michael Miller, the list owner

The above lists focus on the Black Sea and Bessarabia regions but will 
accept questions regarding all aspects and regions of Germans in 
Russia.  The subscriber count may not be exactly current. 

Rootsweb GR-VOLGA List - with focus on the Volga River region, does not 
report the number of subscribers, 154 postings in the month of May.

SGGEE MailMan - with focus on Volhynia and Russian Poland, 654 
subscribers as of today, 192 postings in the month of May (not sure how 
many are announcements but they are few).


I'm not sure what makes our list so successful but I do thank all of you 
for the kind way in which you respond to messages and for your 
willingness to participate with any help you think you can offer.  In 
our almost 8 years of operation, I have only blocked one person from 
posting because of inappropriate content (that was only related to the 
signature line he chose to use, not to genealogy content).  It seems 
that most of you read our guidelines and abide by them in using this 
list.  Thank you!
