Nervous About Using Facebook? We Can Help!

For years I would stand up at the monthly Florida Genealogical Society’s monthly meetings and encourage people to ‘Like Us’ on Facebook.  Some folks would laugh or nod and others would look at me with disbelief.  Why would I encourage them to go to Facebook for genealogy?

Facebook can be fun and entertaining. It can help you connect with old friends and family you haven’t seen or talked to in decades. It can bring out both the best and worst in people. And with the recent news reports we understand the dilemma you may feel.

The Florida Genealogical Society has come up with a happy medium.  You can now view all the hints, tips and articles we post to our Facebook page from our website without joining Facebook!

Just go to our website: https://fgstampa.org and scroll to the bottom of the page. 

You can use the scroll bar on the right to view the articles and if there is one you would like to read just click on the article or link and it will open in a new window!

So visit our website and start exploring all the articles we post on Facebook without logging into Facebook!

Enjoy!

Family Search Adds Facebook Research Communities

Today while I was cruisng Facebook during lunch I came across a great new resource! 

Family Search has a page entitled "Join A Facebook Research Community". On this page are links to Ethnic Research Communities and North America communities among others all built in Facebook!

From a quick glance at the page this is a Pilot Program and each state, country or group that it links to in Facebook has varying degrees of content. There stated purpose is for people to be able to ask questions, collaborate and share knowedge.

Got a minute?  Check it out!

Take Care,
