If you're new to computers or genealogy, this is the place for you.

Gen-Newbie started as an electronic mailing list for people who were new to computers and/or genealogy, to ask questions, help others, and generally share information, research techniques,  brick walls, and computer/genealogy woes.  We began, officially, on October 31, 1996, as an offshoot of the renowned Roots-L.  Since then we have gained over 1,000 members, a unique community that supports the honest and open newbie questions in a flame-free, tolerant atmosphere concerning genealogy/computers.

Are you interested?  If so, you'll need to make a decision before you subscribe.  There are 2 ways to subscribe to Gen-Newbie:
Mail Mode means that you'll receive each message individually.  If there are 20 messages, you'll receive 20 emails.  Typically, there are between 50 and 90 messages per day.  This mode is great if you like to stay on top of things, but not great if you don't check your email often.
Digest Mode means that you'll receive each message, but in a cluster, or digest.  Typically, this list publishes 3-4 digests per day.  This mode is ideal for someone who likes to read messages at leisure. 

So, what do you wish?  Digest Mode or Mail Mode?
