Can I ask those in the know something please ?

I have no problem with anyone reading anything I say or do, or photos etc...an 'open book' me ( or very boring depending on your viewpoint ;) ) ...but can I stop people seeing who my other 'friends' are on there? I am always a bit concerned that people looking on my profile can see that of my relatives too...If I just set privacy settings re who can see my profile does that work ?

I have never slated anyone for being on there either. I have 135 people on my friends list & I know most of them personally & the rest i "know" through here or FTF

I would never accept a friend request just because they popped up on my suggestion bit

I love facebook !!!!

I have taken off all the pics of my children ......for reasons that are well known to people on here........and if anyone wants to have a nosey on my profile they'll only see pics of me ( those who have seen them will know that the resemblance to Kylie is of course breathtaking *coughs*).......and pics of my pets....nothing at all that I really care who sees.... my language on there...is at times ripe....as it is in real life lol....but hey ho .....I refuse to add my friends children onto it for that reason...I treat it as an adult site and have good fun on there catching up with family and friends alike xx

Rose (RR), how spooky......I've just logged onto GR to ask you all that very question lol

I asked about facebook about a year ago about the pros and cons and decided the time wasn't right, mainly because my family tree has been a right mess and I needed to find time fixing it after the big Family Tree Maker disaster of 2008 or was it 2007? lol

Facebook just seemed too addictive and I was worried I'd never straighten my tree out.

My tree isn't finished but it's almost straight and I was thinking about joining but I've always been a bit wary about who could see what.

I've got family, friends and internet friends and typical of me I'd like to get them in their separate compartments lol Afterall who needs to know about my Great Aunt Flo chatting about her bunions lol

I just don't understand the whole Facebook thing and how it works so am a bit wary. Can that be done ,ie keep everyone in their separate compartments?
