One thing Facebook has accomplished is taking over the genealogy community (at least here in the US but probably elsewhere too.)

There used to be a plethora of volunteer websites, and also for-pay sites (such as Ancestry) wherein people exchanged information and help. Often county genealogy societies had their own web pages, etc.

Now… it’s all Facebook.

I’ve never liked this. Facebook makes it easier of course because then volunteers don’t have to try and run websites. Facebook does all the web-stuff. But it also means all that family history information is now the property of Facebook.
