Club Meeting: Wed., May 26 Facebook: A Tool for Genealogical Research. 6:30 PM Zoom
At first glance, Facebook doesn’t seem like a good fit for genealogy research. Yet, many genealogists and family historians are using the world’s most popular social media platform to locate other researchers, post queries and lookups, and to harness the power of Facebook Pages and Groups. Facebook, like many other websites, can be a distraction and time waster. However, with a little practice and a focuses approach to using the site, you will be amazed at how much Facebook can help advance your research. Who is Thomas MacEntee? What happens when a “tech guy” with a love for history gets laid off during The Great Recession of 2008? You get me, Thomas MacEntee, a genealogy professional who’s also a blogger, educator, author, social media connector, marketer, network builder, and more. Thomas was laid off after a 25-year career in the information technology field, so he started his own genealogy-related business called High-Definition Genealogy. He shares many of his articles and videos for free at GenealogyBargains.com! Thomas describes himself, “I’m a lifelong learner with a background in a multitude of topics and I’ve finally figured out what I do best: teach, inspire, instigate, and serve as a curator and go-to-guy for concept nurturing and inspiration. I believe in success, and that we all succeed when we help each other find success.” |
