Would you find it useful to receive such notes on new information on
http://swiss.genealogy.net/
directly? If yes, you'd be invited to subscribe to SwissGen-News on
http://swiss.genealogy.net/news-m.htm
This service is free of charge and will not flood your mailbox: average
is less than 1 mail per month - and depending on how busy I am doing
other things, you may not hear from me for several months. As only the
writer of these lines is allowed to post, you also won't get any spam
via the list. And don't worry that the subscription page is in German -
all mails are bilingual (as the example above).
After submitting your subscription you'll receive a mail which you have
to return - to confirm that you actually have subscribed yourself. This
doesn't seem to work with AOL customers, though, as AOL can't manage
return mails properly: most likely (if not always) AOL customers will
get an error mail instead; should this happen to you, just forward the
error mailto: - and I'll confirm your subscription
manually.

Best regards - Wolf Seelentag
