Thinking of starting a Facebook genealogy group?

One of the many things that social media allows us to do with genealogy is share what we know with relative ease with other people of similar interests.   And one of the easiest ways to do just that is through starting a Facebook group.  There are already numerous genealogy groups available - just try searching a key word and see what comes up. But if you don't find what you want, or like, or if you simply want to share your research with family members, its simple as a snap and a click to get a group going. I'm not going to go through all of the steps that you need to go through to get a group up and running.  Facebook support does a wonderful with that. But I do want to write what it means to be an "Administrator" of a Facebook group. As an Administrator - and everyone who establishes a group on Facebook becomes the de facto leader of that group - you have certain power, and with power, comes responsibilities, just like Superhero's.  It's true!...
