Hello everyone, I have agreed to chair the rules committee and would love to begin work on rules to present to the membership but so far I have only one volunteer and and I would like a few more to take on this very important task. Please consider volunteering to serve on this committee. Your state will be most thankful for your participation! Karen

Hi Karen, I can help, but have no training with legalese. Martha

Thank you all for the warm welcome, I am happy to be part of a project in my home state, especially for the county I live in! I don't have any family ties to this county, or any that I am aware of, but I have big plans for the Anoka County site and hope to have a new look for the site up by the end of the weekend.

Mike. go to your group, then click on the ... upper right, below the cover photo choose group settings, scroll down to where you have 2 choices only admins can approve ne members or any member can approve new members! I actually prefer to keep my groups, even the open ones to only admins can approve new membrs, because I look at their pages, and if they have only advertizing groups on their page I dont let them in because they are spammers! There are groups where people get PAID to spam other groups and peoples timelines. Yes it takes a few min each week but it is time well spent in the long run.

Mike, notices from the group only go to group members. Although it will show up on your newsfeed occasionally, it will not go to your friends newsfeed unless they are a group member.

Sorry I had to go look at one of my groups - on the right side around the area of your graphic, either on top of it or below it is a blurb that says notifications and to the right of that is a box with 3 dots in it. Clicking on that gives a drop down - Membership Approval - Any member can add or approve members. - Any member can add members, but an admin must approve them. If you take the first one, you as an admin don't have to approve them but any other member can - so in effect, this is not what I stated - let me take a look at another group. All the groups I admin I control who can join because they are for certain topics and/or sensitive topics that not everybody and their brother need be on. But best I can see at the present time either you or someone else in the group - if you select the first line can approve new members.

Mike, I think you will spend most of your time on your Newsfeed as evidenced by some of your questions and that is most common as well. . Think of the Newsfeed as a ticker tape. Your newsfeed will show some of the posts posted by friends as the day goes on. It likes to default to Top Stories but for me that is too difficult. I make sure my newsfeed is just that, a feed, posted because of time chronologically and ongoing. Your wall is the storage of only your posts that you make OR if someone visits your wall and makes a post. You can post on your wall and it will put a copy on your newsfeed. If you or a friend post on your wall it makes a copy on the newsfeed of your friends. The more friends you have, the lower percentage of their posts that will show up on your Newsfeed. If you have one friend every post they make will show up on your newsfeed but if you have 100 friends, only 20% of their posts will show up on the newsfeed or similar portion. Postings in the group will also show up on the newsfeed but likely you will have it set so you receive a notification when there is a group post. The newsfeed uses the same friend ratio for the newsfeed so you would not see all of the group posts without having notifications. Hopefully this will help you get a quick start on Facebook. :) Karen On Tue, Mar 10, 2015 at 12:32 PM, Timothy Stowell via <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes on the wall / timeline.

Thank you. OK, so I sign up with a genealogy group already in existence. I post a note that Clay County is located at such and such address. So, that post goes to everyone in that group, right? Does it also go to my friends or just that group? Mike Clay County

I thought when I made the group open that it was open. I’m getting requests to become member and I don’t know that I’m getting maximum exposure as some people don’t like to join things. Tim, I noticed your comment, “That brings up another issue - you can set the group for folks to join without approval.” I’ve looked everywhere for a way to do that, with no luck.

Things posted to your wall by you are seen by all your friends, unless you change your settings to say that everything you post is to the world. Since everything you say you may not want the world to see, you can restrict it to just friends or various other options -- like friends of friends, acquaintances. I have mine set to go to all my friends save one, who was a pain recently (somewhat like moderation on a list). If I want a larger audience I can upgrade it from friends to world - like saying I like some really neat something on someone else's wall I can choose to share it to not only my world of friends but truly to the world. Of course sharing to the world doesn't necessarily mean the world will look at it but its anyone's guess who does. Although I do believe there is software out there that tells you who has viewed x page - which is obviously for people with a lot more time than me. As for your group - it would have separate settings from you - replies can either go back to the group only, or can be seen by the public at large. Looking at your group settings it says it is a public group - that anyone (world) can see the group, its members and posts to the group. One can have a private group, a semi-private group as well - but bottom line you've got yours set as it should be - an open group. One though has to join the group to post to it. That brings up another issue - you can set the group for folks to join without approval or you can put them in a pending approval where you have review each one who wishes to join. Of course as the admin you can remove folks that get rowdy and block them from ever joining again if you change the settings to let folks join without approval. On one of the groups I host, people have to apply to join and have to have the right criteria to join. I suspect for a genealogy site I'd not require approval to join / post so if someone wants to comment at 3 am they can, when I'm in theory asleep. Help in Facebook is rudimentary, much easier to Google what you seek to know or ask someone who has done this awhile.
