There are country groups and family groups for genealogy on Facebook. Lately, there have been some good exchanges of information on the Greene county, Pennsylvania and Wetzel county, West Virginia groups. Some of the folks have subscriptions to Ancestry.com. I have never subscribed, so I don't really have an appreciation for what is available. Today I read some good information about ship arrivals.
From time to time I shared PDF files to the File areas of some of the groups. I encourage others to share in a similar manner. That idea hasn't amounted to much, to date.
I also encourage everyone to learn how to use their genealogy programs. Learn to export and import GEDCOM files. Learn how to produce files in "text" or PDF format and be willing to reciprocate when someone shares information.
Plan ahead. Give thought to which libraries you might want to donate a copy of your work.
