GenWebTM
Mailing List
The GenWeb electronic mailing list is closed.
The GenWeb electronic mailing list was established to facilitate the development of the GenWeb concept of globally distributed, linked genealogy
databases. (GenWeb is a trademark of the non-profit Genweb
Foundation first used to describe such a system of linked genealogy
databases in April 1994.) The GenWeb mailing list was
hosted by the electronic mailing list facility at the University of California at San Diego. The list was closed in August 1997. Subscribers have been removed from the list and messages to the GenWeb mailing list have ceased. You may still access three years of these discussions below.
Conversations regarding technical aspects of building the GenWeb continue in various other fora (forums). Links to these areas will appear here soon.
GenWeb Archives
Internet discussions about the GenWeb concept began with Gary
Hoffman's proposal of 8 APR 1994 sent to the ROOTS-L and
GEDCOM-L mailing lists as well as the National Genealogy
Conference and GENTECH on Fidonet. Thereupon ensued an exchange of
informal messages over several months until the GenWeb mailing
list was established in September 1994. This archive includes most
key messages in that series of exchanges.
