    Good presentation

    Good review of FB – I’m on it a lot but lots of tips presented today.

    Great

    Great info !!

    Great info!!

    Great info, she was very knowledgeable and had a good handout and powerpoint!

    Great Information and very helpful!

    great information, well organized, very clear, encourages me to participate more in genealogy Facebook groups!

    Great informative webinar. Thanks Cyndi

    Great one, Thank you

    Great presentation as I am not on Facebook but realize I will have a headstart when I do join shortly.

    Great webinar for Facebook Group users and I definitely learned a few new things! Thank you, Cyndi.

    Great webinar! Thank you.

    I always enjoy Cindy Ingle’s skill and knowledge! Thanks

    I belong to many Facebook genealogy groups and had no idea of some of the features that Cyndi covered in her excellent webinar.

    i didnt think to go online on facebook to check out genealogy. But i am going to try and join genealogy squad. I am trying to get into the digital world as my children refer to it. Thank you for all the information and prompts. It was very helpful as I am new to online research.

    I learned a lot and I’ve been on Facebook for years. Cyndi is great!

    I learned a lot. I haven’t been on a FB Genealogy group page before but will definitely be joining soon!

    I learned so much tonight ! Thank you.

    I learned some new things about Facebook, even though I’ve been using it for years.

    I recently joined the squad but have not used it. I now know how to use it to my advantage. Thank you so much for the info .

    I started genealogy in 1995. First place I went to was Cyndislist.com. Found my missing Canadian relatives. Love Cyndi!!!

    I thought I knew a lot about the subject . . . didn’t realize all I didn’t know. Great info and presented very clearly (of course . . . .Love Cyndi)

    I was expecting an overview of various genealogy fb groups but instead learned loads of general fb information. I think many people just get on fb and don’t use its full functionality. Some groups that exist don’t have topic lists for example. I’ll be using many of Cyndi’s tips in the future – and will pass them on to friends.

    I was hoping I might learn a couple new things and found out that it was more like a COUPLE HUNDRED!!! This is definitely going be re-watched!!

    If every member of every group would be required to view this video, Facebook would be a wonderful place. Thank you Cyndi!

    If there was a 10 rating, I would give it. This is one of the most informative webinars I’ve attended over 10 years I’ve been doing this. Thank you Cyndi, for all your details!

    Interesting although I do not use Facebook because of security and privacy concerns. But may try it in the future.

    It was very informative, unfortunately I am new to Facebook and need to learn to navigate from the beginning.

    Items were explained clearly and with good examples. It was very helpful!

    Learned a lot about groups, especially the Genealogy Squad

    Learned a lot about using facebook. Wil be joining Cindi’s group

    learned things I didn’t know and I’ve been on FB awhile.

    Learning more about FB is always good to know.

    Learnt so much – excellent presentation

    Lots of good information on how to use Facebook groups and pages.

    Lots of great info. Thanks so much!

    Lots of really good information!

    Love the clarity of Cyndi’s talks!

    Not a user; excellent introduction to facebook genealogy.

    Not much of a facebook user, so a little more than I think I can handle, wish I knew more. Good information but…..

    Really enjoyed both commentator and Cindi. Must learn to write faster though!! tee hee

    Really good

    Really great insights! Well done! Thank you!

    Relevant topic, knowledgeable speaker who can provide clear, understandable guidance. Nicely done!

    She is an excellent speaker who knows how to pack the most information in her allotted time

    She’s a fast talker, but, boy, does Cyndi have so much to offer! I’m a beginner to genealogy, and just got a Facebook page. Can’t wait to search out some groups. Definately will join the Genealogy Squad. Thank you so much. This was so instructive.

    So knowledgeable!!!

    So much info, so little time!

    So much information in a short time. I’ll have to watch this webinar several times to get a grasp on all of it! Thanks.

    Super.

    Superior – I have 3 family facebook pages that will benefit from Cyndi’s tips. I have also learned much to help me in my own research on other genealogy pages. Thank you.

    terrific knowledgeable speaker

    Terrific!

    Thank you Cyndi for another great webinar!!! Thanks Marian 🙂

    thank you so much. Learned alot about Facebook and genealogy postings. not new to genealogy, but new to posting about it on facebook. I was already a member of Legacy Family Tree Facebook. But I still learned so much.

    thank you you covered a lot of things which I had to learn the hard way as well as gave me some new insights

    Thank you!

    Thank you.

    There was a lot of great information but it went a little fast.

    This has given me confidence to participate in genealogy Facebook groups. Thank you!

    This one was filled with so much information I want to watch it a second time. I have been on Facebook for years, and learned so much in today’s webinar. I belong to (too) many Facebook groups and struggle on how to control what ends up in my newsfeed. I now have some solutions.

    this webinar was not only informative it was useful and practical in the way it was presented. I am visual learning and this was fantastic to follow live while showing us around a group FB site. Cyndi is easy to follow, keeps it not too technical and keeps you wanting more.

    Today was my first Webinar. It was very informative! Thank you. I am looking forward to future webinars.

    Very good overview and examples about how to search, post, and answer a query.

    very helpful

    Very helpful! Thanks!

    Very informative.

    Very interesting and helpful.

    very thorough and well organized.

    Very useful webinar for me. I am a Facebook user; but, I don’t have a good understanding of the structure, navigation, terminology, etc. This has answered a lot of my questions and provided some new direction for me to better understand, use, and comment on Facebook. I will watch the webinar again.

    well done. lots of good information

    Well organized, good detail. This was geared more for a beginner I think, but still helpful content

    What a gifted teacher!

    What a wonderful speaker. I am one of those who go on FB once a week. This webinar was so helpful. I have been on gen. blogs but did not understand how they worked so have bothered with them.

    Wish I had seen it years ago.

    Wonderful presentation

    Wonderful presentation. I learned a lot.

    Would recommend this to everyone!
