Social Register
A free networking service for homeschoolers.
Anyone who is homeschooling or thinking about it can list themselves
on the page for their home town or city. The Register provides a method
of contacting any other listed person without revealing anyone's email
address or other personal information. Since the Register is organized
by towns, cities, and counties within each state and province, it's
easy to locate others who are homeschooling in your town or nearby.
