work www.elanillo.com (all hispanic) and www.geneanet.com (which
focuses mostly on europe) Both offer forums as well. Yahoo.com/groups

Spain group, genealhispana as well as more precise county/region groups
such as aragongen, gencantabria, genealogiadeandalucia, ****tugal-gen,
gen-burgos just to name a few. All you need to do is register for each
group. Another group which allow some access to their databases are
