"The FB account is just another distraction." Your statement made me chuckle because for me, genealogy is way more of a distraction than FB - I often ignore cleaning my house and preparing meals because I want to do just one more of my endless research tasks... I originally joined FB to participate in the lives of my 30ish adult children because they post their photos, recipes, activities, etc there. Since that time, I have found many uses for myself especially around photos and genealogy. For example, we have a Cousins group on my mother's side where I can post unidentified photos or ask for information and have that info shared back. It's possible to allow FB to be a distraction if you join in all the games and ads, but I have turned all that stuff off. I do not allow FB to become a distraction. genealogy, now, that's a different story...Just another opinion on the subject.
