Fort Bend County Libraries has launched a “Family-History Research FBCL” Facebook group page! Managed by the Genealogy & Local History department at George Memorial Library in Richmond, the group page is an interactive, online forum for sharing genealogy tips and resources, as well as local-history stories.
“Our Facebook group page gives us a platform where we can share information with the public, and where the public can ask questions or share their own stories with us,” says Daniel Sample, manager of the department.
In addition to family-history research tips, historical photos of different places in the county are posted. Group members are encouraged to share memories and other information they have on the different locations or events.
To join the group, Facebook users can go to the Fort Bend County Libraries Facebook page, click on the “Groups” tab, select the “Family-History Research FBCL” group, and click on the “Join Group” button.
Genealogy librarians are available at the library, by phone (281-341-2608), or by email to assist family-history researchers with questions.
