Hi Nivard, Like you, I'm not a fan of Facebook genealogy groups, like the generic Irish Genealogy group. The Castlederg group, on the other hand, was set up by folks in/from Castlederg. So, if you're looking for local knowledge, you can't get much more local. I'm not actually in the C'derg group, as my folks weren't from that area, but I do see occasional posts from the group, and they always seem interesting. Of course, I like CTI most of all... :-) Claire K CTI Admin Sent from my iPhone On Jan 10, 2014, at 8:28 AM, Nivard Ovington <[email protected]> wrote: > I am entirely with Ray on this subject > > Why do people bother with facebook, which may be flavour of the month > for now but not a great resource for research, particularly long term > > The list posts are archived for future researchers to gain from and make > contact with previous posters with similar interests > > And a whole lot safer to use > > Give me the lists and boards any day > > Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > > On 10/01/2014 13:46, ray15 wrote: >> Thank you for the notification, Mervyn; and to Clare for giving them a boost. >> >> Sadly, though, I will have to stay ignorant of everything about your group, as I refuse to join Facebook; and having tried your link, can only read there upon becoming a member. >> >> It’s a pity, but something that I have to accept as long as I choose to stick by my preference for privacy. >> >> Wishing you all the best with it nevertheless. >> Ray in Oz > ------------- > Our community web-site: http://cotyroneireland.com/ > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
