EOGN Benelux forum

The Benelux forum is a new genealogy forum where you can discuss your Dutch roots. Dick Eastman, famous for his Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter (EOGN), opened a set of discussion forums on his EOGN website, including a Benelux *) forum for Belgian, Dutch and Luxembourg genealogy. Everyone can read the messages on this forum, but (free) registration is required for taking part in the discussions.

The forum is initially open for a 90-day trial, and will only continue if it is successful. Dick writes:

"I plan on keeping the Discussion Forum in operation for ninety days, then reviewing its operation. If the forum provides a positive contribution to the genealogy community, I'll continue its operation. However, if after ninety days or at any time in the future it has degenerated into a general "complaints board" with constant bashing of vendors and similar non-productive messages, I'll delete it."

*)BeNeLux is an acronym for Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg.
