The charter, culled from the call for votes:

The soc.genealogy.methods group is for the discussion of genealogical
(but non-computing) resources and methods, and for the analysis of
particular research problems.  Examples of topics are:

  * Records and other resources, primary and secondary, public or private:
    anything related to locating, accessing, evaluating, interpreting,
    and/or preserving them;
  * Ways of organizing your research;
  * Evidence: proof; evaluation of conflicting sources;
  * Patterns and conditions of life in the past: laws, trades, migration
    routes, folkways, economic conditions, etc. which can help interpret
    the evidence we find as well as provide an ancestral context;
  * Interdisciplinary discussions: (demographics, genetics, medicine,
    stylistic analysis, law etc.).

Postings from both experienced and inexperienced participants will
be welcomed.  The philosophy of moderation is to be light-handed
and to offer extra help behind the scenes for new participants.
Please refer to the FAQ for moderation policies, including the
ability of posters to overrule moderator advice (except for
