My Favorite Genealogy FaceBook groups

 A list of my favorite genealogy FaceBook groups – check them out!

1.  The Genealogy Squad – run by Cyndi Ingle (of Cyndi’s list), Drew Smith (of the Genealogy Guys Podcast), and Cari Taplin.  This is a great general genealogy resource, with a “focus on answering questions and solving problems, while demonstrating best practices in all aspects of genealogical research.”

2.  Prussian Genealogy & Heritage / German, Polish & Lithuanian Roots Community – an excellent group to ask questions about your Prussia ancestors – very friendly and knowledgeable responses to your questions.

3.  Scottish Indexes Group – this group is run by Emma and Graham Maxwell, husband and wife genealogists from Scotland.  I’ve attended several of their conferences, and they are extremely knowledgeable researchers of Scottish records.

4.  Genealogical Translations – a great resource for those hard-to-figure-out documents that are not in English.  This group provides free translations of documents in Dutch, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Latin, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and others.  If Google translate isn’t enough, this is the group to go to.

5.  Genetic Genealogy Tips & Techniques – for DNA research questions, check out this group.  It’s run by some of the top genetic genealogy experts in the field, and provide help for beginner to advanced DNA topics.
