Facebook privacy settings change from time to time.
YouTube is probably the best place to get a video on setting Privacy
options in Facebook.
Make sure you are watching a very recent one.
You can also use a browser extension called F. B. Purity to get rid of
some of the junk.
I agree. I’ve never been tempted to use FB but, knowing that it’s
‘searchable’ just might be the ‘carrot’ that could tempt me to give it a
try.
A video or, even written instructions, to ‘join’ and assure adequate
privacy/security would be greatly appreciated.

I have been using Legacy Family Tree since version 4 and I have been a
subscriber to the legacyusergroup for a long time. I enjoy reading the
Legacyusergroup emails, which I sometimes find useful.
I looked at the LUG FB a little, but did not find it useful and have not
