Dumb newsgroup searching question

[Unsprung]

I am old to genealogy but new to newsgroups. I want to identify other
newsgroups of interest. If I plug "genealogy" or "poland" into Outlook
Express' newsgroups search engine, I really do not get that many hits. Are
there better newsgroup search engines out there?

If you specifically want newsgroups, then alt.genealogy and the groups under

the soc.genealogy.* are the best. However, for more specific stuff, there's
hordes of mailing lists. For example,. see the lists on
Rootsweb.http://lists.rootsweb.com/
