Mailing Lists
http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html
Being aware of the documents that can assist you in your research
efforts and their relative importance is only the first step. You
must then acquire or otherwise access these documents, possibly
have them translated, and discuss the relevancy of the material
obtained with others. Just about every mailing list deals with
documents that are related to the specific scope of the list
(surname, geographic area, etc.); however, there are a number of
lists devoted to specific documents or related activities that
may be of interest. Some examples are:
Vital records mailing lists including lists for each state and
some countries devoted to requests for census lookups
http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail_vit.html
Family histories and artifacts mailing lists devoted to posting
and discussions of family bibles and vintage photographs
http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail_famhist.html
Genealogical materials/services mailing lists for the buying and
selling of new/used genealogy books and CDs and for requests to
share, exchange or acquire genealogical materials related to
various countries.

Translations mailing lists devoted to the
deciphering/interpreting of old documents written in Latin, Old
English, French, German, Russian and Polish
http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail_trans.html
Finally, an area that should not be overlooked ... over 150 lists
sponsored by genealogical and historical societies that may be
able to assist you in locating essential documents or information
