Anne, I've taken you up on your offer to be a co-admin of the new fb page. You seem to be a lot more savvy at this than I. And you have much better ideas! As of now, there are 18 members on the fb page. There are roughly 170 members on the rootsweb list. So, I doubt it will really be a huge group of people there. The advantage, as you say, is that it may be a whole lot easier for new people to find us on fb than on rootsweb, which is complicated. That way, we can direct them to the discussion board.

Craig - Glad to help. I have little to offer to the group in the way of research i have done, and spend much of my time lurking in case my one Stafford Co. family is mentioned. (And Stafford itself is rarely mentioned.) It will make me feel as if I am contributing. Just let me know when you set me up as an admin and I will start posting relevant material (mostly links to sites and articles).
