By early 1997, soc.genealogy.surnames was rather large, with a predominance of queries about ancestors in the USA. At the same time, soc.genealogy.uk+ireland and soc.genealogy.german had grown uncomfortably large, with a large number of surname queries in both groups. The reorganization of soc.genealogy.surnames into the current seven soc.genealogy.surnames.* groups was accomplished by a vote which ended in July 1997, setting the pattern for the creation of other regional surnames groups when there is sufficient interest.
