I thought there had been a couple of postings on General Chat re GRA ..... if not, then that was an omission by the people running it. |

well genealogy is the subject of that group so I dare say that's why it was posted about on genealogy rather than general, but there have been a few groups started on FB by GR members in the past, members who wanted somewhere to chat with like minded people from here but less public than on their own page. |

I have seen that FB page advertised on Genealogy Chat occasionally Rosie - and they have competitions too. Seems like a good page with helpful folk on it. :-D |

I didn't know about these groups, but then, if they are for research I wouldn't as I don't offer help on here. I don't belong to any sites that would be helpful as I sort of froze my tree quite a while ago having got more or less as far as i wanted to and having two or three unassailable brick walls. |

I wouldn't like to say which groups I help on or belong to lol, I know I can be outspoken on here and it is not everyone who would then feel comfortable if they knew I was on these groups too...where I just help with research and not to express opinions :-) |

I don't see anyone inviting others to join, private or public. I still think it's the way to go if and when GR folds. I know some people are reluctant to give FB a go but I find FB groups much friendler than GR - and no aggro, at least on the ones I use lol |

Nooo it isn't a secret Island :-) well one is a private group, but the other is open for anyone to post on if they have genealogy queries. |

Some members are already part of several Genealogy groups, some open to all, on FB, offering the help that they give or gave on here. :-) |

13 million members? That would be 13 million registrations not individuals. |
