I and many grandparents I know love getting posts with our grandkids' photos and day-to-day goings-on. My point is: ask around among your friends, and I suspect you'll easily find someone who can help you. If that doesn't work for you, check at your local senior center. There may even be a class, if not at least someone who can fill you in on the basics. _____ From: or-roots-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us [mailto:or-roots-bounces at listsmart.osl.state.or.us] On Behalf Of Dale Harguess Sent: Monday, July 02, 2012 10:29 AM To: or-roots mail list Subject: Re: [or-roots] OregonPioneers on facebook I have a password and all that on Facebook but I just don't know how to use it.

This will supplement and give people an opportunity to discuss their project and or ask about resources. Sue "As an offshoot of my website at oregonpioneers.com/ortrail.htm I have started a facebook page for Oregon Researchers to gather and share their projects, ask questions and find resources. Over the years I have developed a network of "goto" people with an expertise in a particular area. If I can gather them all in one place and add more we will all benefit from it. Anyone with an interest in joining in the discussions is welcome to join. It is a public forum. When you join in please tell what families you are researching and or what organization you are with. If you are involved with a historical society or library let us know which one. The idea is to provide resources, contacts, see what projects are going on so they are not duplicated and link family researchers. Most of the people involved will probably not have time to provide actual research. I will use the page to to list updates that I make to the oregonpioneers.com website and will answer questions."

Rule two never give personal information to anyone,? rule three when you receive an email notifying you your bank, email account, face book account, stock brokerage, insurance or anything else "NEEDS TO BE VERIFIED" it is a SCAM, if you have the energy for it report it to the appropriate location, if not delete it.? Rule four; your "friends" in online social media may not always be friendly.? People say what I consider stupid things on facebook now and then and I unload. It can be a jungle out there, so if you are easily offended you probably would be better off not adding me to your friends list, I usually behave myself pretty well, but I am friends with some people who have a compulsion to push the envelope, and technically Facebook is supposed to be off limits to those under 18. For example the moderators of one of my friends page undoubtedly have a large faction of the Iranian Theocratic?hierarchy?actively attempting to identify them so they can order them killed. I recommend in using any social media that you refuse all application requests, even though they may seem to be coming from friends of yours, they are usually really just a "bot" trying to lure you in. While most of them may be innocuous like the farm town etc games which are just big time wasters to try and get you to click repeatedly on pages where they have placed advertisements they charge a 1/1000 of a cent for every click on, some of them are specifically inimical and the easiest way to avoid those is avoid them all. If you really think you want to do one of them like birthday tracker or whatever, be sure at least part of your info is false. You can see where i have been wasting a lot of my time better spent on genealogy.Les ? Just know I support Stephanie's efforts and values. I would almost step on my toes and go there, to her page.

My primary webpage at http://www.oregonpioneers.com/ortrail.htm is absolutely not going anywhere. I am updating it daily and will probably still be doing so as they try to lower me in my grave. The last time I looked at the statistics for it, which was over 6 months ago, I was receiving over 300,000 hits a MONTH. As you can imagine, that generates some inquiries and email. I answer all the email myself and try to do so in a timely manner. One of the questions I am often asked is regarding resources and other family researchers. It occurred to me that if we could join together on facebook and share upcoming events being held at historical societies, reunion information, ask questions on a particular surname or a particular area we are researching, etc it would perhaps be helpful to those doing research. It will also allow me, on a regular basis to let everyone know what surname or year of emigration or subject I am currently working on so that I can gather input from others interested in the same subject. I am personally very careful about the private information I give out about myself. I don?t allow posts on the timeline page of my personal facebook page because it is too public. I have my settings for my family set so that only members of the family can see their posts. I don?t post when I am going to be gone or any other information that can be used in a harmful way. As technology becomes more and more a way of life I see people putting themselves in a harmful position by being way too open about their children, their jobs, their vacations, etc. If it could be beneficial to a criminal don?t post it. Finally, if you aren?t totally frightened off of the internet for good and are a facebook user, please feel free to check in on the Oregon Pioneers facebook page. Otherwise, I am always available through my website for questions, comments, corrections and update. Any pictures that I have donated to me on the early pioneers will available on my website in the photo gallery.
