Private Family Facebook Groups

One great way to get to know the extended family is to set up a Facebook Group page and invite all of your family members to join. Facebook provides a rich set of functionality that allows users to share more information about themselves including their immediate family, photos, interests and more. Here you can really get to know your extended family members regardless of whether they live near or far. Other Facebook functionality includes: • It gives family members a place to go to post family specific updates and/or photos. • It has a full set of security and privacy features to allow you to control and restrict: o Who gets to see your personal information, including postings, pictures and family members. o Who can join the Facebook group. The article below explains how to create a private Facebook group so only approved members can see who else is in the group and any group posts. • Creating a Facebook group page for the family allows family members to see who else is in the family without everyone needing to become Facebook friends with each other. Members of the group can post updates and photos that only other members in the group can see. • In the event you need help writing something in another language, Facebook already offers the ability to translate over 70 languages.
