Thank you, Cyndi. \n\nGreat webinar! Thank you. \n\nI always enjoy Cindy Ingle's skill and knowledge! Thanks\n\nI belong to many Facebook genealogy groups and had no idea of some of the features that Cyndi covered in her excellent webinar. \n\ni didnt think to go online on facebook to check out genealogy. But i am going to try and join genealogy squad. I am trying to get into the digital world as my children refer to it. Thank you for all the information and prompts. It was very helpful as I am new to online research. \n\nI learned a lot and I've been on Facebook for years. Cyndi is great!\n\nI learned a lot. I haven't been on a FB Genealogy group page before but will definitely be joining soon!\n\nI learned so much tonight ! Thank you.\n\nI learned some new things about Facebook, even though I've been using it for years.\n\nI recently joined the squad but have not used it. I now know how to use it to my advantage. Thank you so much for the info . \n\nI started genealogy in 1995. First place I went to was Cyndislist.com. Found my missing Canadian relatives. Love Cyndi!!!\n\nI thought I knew a lot about the subject . . . didn't realize all I didn't know. Great info and presented very clearly (of course . . . .Love Cyndi)\n\nI was expecting an overview of various genealogy fb groups but instead learned loads of general fb information. I think many people just get on fb and don't use its full functionality. Some groups that exist don't have topic lists for example. I'll be using many of Cyndi's tips in the future - and will pass them on to friends. \n\nI was hoping I might learn a couple new things and found out that it was more like a COUPLE HUNDRED!!! This is definitely going be re-watched!!\n\nIf every member of every group would be required to view this video, Facebook would be a wonderful place. Thank you Cyndi!\n\nIf there was a 10 rating, I would give it. This is one of the most informative webinars I've attended over 10 years I've been doing this. Thank you Cyndi, for all your details! \n\nInteresting although I do not use Facebook because of security and privacy concerns. But may try it in the future.\n\nIt was very informative, unfortunately I am new to Facebook and need to learn to navigate from the beginning. \n\nItems were explained clearly and with good examples. It was very helpful!\n\nLearned a lot about groups, especially the Genealogy Squad\n\nLearned a lot about using facebook. Wil be joining Cindi's group\n\nlearned things I didn't know and I've been on FB awhile.\n\nLearning more about FB is always good to know.\n\nLearnt so much - excellent presentation\n\nLots of good information on how to use Facebook groups and pages. \n\nLots of great info. Thanks so much!\n\nLots of really good information!\n\nLove the clarity of Cyndi's talks!
