\"Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n

Since I\u2019ve been on the topic of Facebook this month, I\u2019ve got one more idea to share. Facebook pages are typically the Facebook \u201chome\u201d for a business, organization, or public figure. A page is similar to a personal profile, but a page is public and anyone can follow or \u201cLike\u201d it.<\/p>\n

Many genealogical societies, as well as businesses (big and small) have a Facebook page. Some individual genealogists also maintain a public page in lieu of or in addition to their personal profile.<\/p>\n

In addition to joining groups as we discussed in last week\u2019s post, it\u2019s probably a good idea to follow societies, businesses, and genealogists of interest. Most of the time you\u2019ll learn about them on a different level than you would on their website, and, you\u2019re usually the first to know when there is a sale, special offer, new product release or update, or other exciting news.<\/p>\n

Here is a sampling of some genealogy-related Facebook pages.<\/p>\n
