FILE FRIDAY: Katherine Wilson's Genealogy on Facebook List

Our spotlight this week is the work of Katherine R. Wilson, who has gathered 5,700+ links to Facebook genealogy pages and groups, with another 300+ in the works. Katherine has personally uploaded a copy to The Organized Genealogist Facebook group file area here. We've learned she is writing a book on the use of Facebook for genealogical research.


Katherine's file in .PDF format has a clickable table of contents including, among other topics:

• US states
• foreign countries
• adoption
• DNA
• ethnic groups 
• lineage societies
• maps
• software
• surnames

So why are we spotlighting this marvelous file? Quite frankly to remind our group there is probably a Facebook group out there to handle your research questions. This frees us up to discuss organization in The Organized Genealogist Facebook Group. Without Katherine's list, we may never know what's available.
