soc.genealogy.britain	Genealogy in Great Britain and the islands.

The charter, culled from the vote result announcement:

Soc.genealogy.britain is an unmoderated group for genealogy and family
history discussion among people researching ancestors, family members,
or others who have a genealogical connection to any people in Great
Britain.  This includes England, Scotland, Wales and the offshore
islands such as the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands.

The group is open to anyone with an interest in genealogy in any of
the populations in or from this area, including, but not limited to:
people who live, lived, or may have lived there; emigrants;
immigrants; colonists; residents of former colonies; and their
descendants.

The scope of the group reflects language, history, migrations, and the
realities of researching public records and genealogical data
archives, and includes questions of local customs and history, or of
regional or national history which affected the lives of these people
and which are difficult to research in the present. Posts may be in
any language but those seeking replies from a wide spectrum of readers
(or at all) would be well advised to post in English.

The focus of the group is on the genealogy of individuals, as members
of ethnic groups, and as part of migration patterns. Postings on
topics unrelated to genealogy, especially relating to current
political or religious topics are not acceptable.

Postings concerning general surnames searches are not welcome and
should be directed to the soc.genealogy.surnames newsgroup or to any
appropriate subgroup that may be created. Postings containing MIME
attachments, graphics, binary or GEDCOM files, and program listings
are also not acceptable.

The newsgroup will be gated to the existing mailing list GENUKI-L
which will be renamed GEN-BRITAIN. The gate will be two-way so that
all messages posted on either side will appear on both sides. The
postings will be archived and made searchable by email, WWW or other
such means.
