When you think of resources for Genealogy and Historical Research, social media might not be the first thing that comes to mind. However, Social Media and, in particular, Facebook can be a powerful addition to your Research Toolkit.
Facebook contains a mass of Genealogy groups and pages dedicated to localities, names, industries, military and many more topics.
Most of these groups contain members who are not only passionate but knowledgeable about their subject which means you as a user have access to that knowledge.
This workshop explains the benefits and, even if the attendees have never used Facebook, will show you how to set up an account, navigate the functions, find groups and pages, attend events, find interesting Genealogy groups and much more.
