I know the list is not very active since we lost Elaine, but I know that one of you might be able to answer my question. This group has always been so willing to help. Do you know of a site similar to MyFamily.com? My family and I have been using this site as a gathering place just for our immediate family. Ancestry is discontinuing the site. MyFamily has been a great tool to bring us so much closer. We share photos and chat. Does Face Book work in the same way? Thanks. Yvonne

Facebook would probably work in a similar way. You could set up a closed group on Facebook and only allow your family members to join. That would keep all of your photos, chats, etc. pretty much private. I know it's not much detail, but I hope it helps.

Thank you Debra. So far it looks like Face Book will be our choice. Yvonne On 6/6/2014 11:04 AM, Debra Weller wrote: > Facebook would probably work in a similar way.

Have you been able to download your file off of MyFamily, as they promised we could? I got a notice saying mine is ready, but when I try to download, I get a page I do not understand and there is nothing there to download. Very confusing.
