Whether or not you use, or even like Facebook, it's here to stay. Mega-millions of posts every prove that people like you and me are using Facebook for a wide variety of reasons. Like I said, love it or hate it, it's here to stay so why not use it to your advantage?
Katherine Willson recognized the genealogy potential of Facebook many years ago. She began compiling a list of genealogy and family history groups that have a Facebook presence. As of 2021, it would take 436 pages to download that list of some nearly 17,000 listings.
Nearly every genealogical and/or historical society in Washington boasts a Facebook page! Wouldn't you guess that every state has a page or two (or more) of such listings? Don't you think you might could learn something from them???

As of 2021, Willson turned over management and updating of her list to CyndisList. So do check that out, too, for the most recent updates....... all categorized.
Facebook - Under Construction
**Currently under construction**
This category is dedicated to Katherine R. Willson who created the original Genealogy on Facebook list. Katherine turned over maintenance of the list to me in January 2021 so that I could carry on that work.
