More Fortunate Finds on Facebook
Were you convinced last week that you should be using Facebook for genealogy?
If not, I have more success stories to share!
Last year, I wrote "16,000+ Friends: Using Facebook for Genealogy," which appeared in Stirpes, the journal of the Texas State Genealogical Society (Vol. 62, No. 3, September 2023, p. 35-40).
This article details nearly a dozen ways to leverage Facebook to further your family history research, includes many more examples of Facebook wins I've had over the past several years, and offers instructions on how to get started. Maybe it will give you an idea or two that will be useful to you.
Just click the PDF below to read the article.
I hope this will be a valuable resource. Thanks to the Stirpes editors for permission to share it here.
Until next time...

ReplyDeleteSo glad you're experience is much like mine. It seems I use it almost every day for something. Thanks for reading!
DeleteHow wonderful the Stirpes editors allowed it to be share more broadly.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE working with Stirpes! It's fun to work with their team. They allow you to publish articles elsewhere one year after original publication. The journal is a member benefit, hence the embargo. I was just reminded of that and the one year had just passed. Perfect timing!
DeleteEven for someone who already uses FB for genealogy, your article is full of excellent tips and ideas. TY for sharing and congrats on all the finds using FB!
