• The GR-GENEALOGY, self-moderated, open-subscription provides a means of communication for persons interested in the history and genealogy of their German-Russian families.
• Subscribers are expected to use restraint when replying, avoiding unsupported critical statements, unacceptable language, non-related information, and attacks on individuals.

A message requesting to subscribe or unsubscribe should not be sent to the complete mail list!

• Refrain from sending the same message to GR-HERITAGE or to GR-GENEALOGY. Carefully review the Possible topics for each of the mail lists.
