Navigating Genealogy Groups on Facebook

 The amount of niche genealogy groups on Facebook is daunting. Several years ago, Katherine R. Willson created a pdf with an alphabetized listing of all the groups on Facebook. As you can imagine this is almost impossible to keep up with so Katherine asked Cyndi Ingle to take this on. She said Yes! So thank you to both Katherine & Cyndi for this vital genealogy resource!

Cyndi's Facebook Links (under construction as of January 2021)

or go to Katherine R. Willson's site to download the pdf (updated January 2021)

So my library closed because of the Coronavirus and these are the books I get to keep, lol.

• American Dirt   "American Dirt just gutted me, and I didn't just read this book―I inhabited it….Everything about this book was so extraordinary. It's suspenseful, the language is beautiful, and the story really opened my heart. I highly recommend it, and you will not want to put it down. It is just a magnificent novel." ―Oprah
• Toward a Zero Energy Home: A Complete Guide to Energy Self-Sufficiency at Home I love this book! 5 stars! I am determined to learn energy self-sufficiency and this is exactly the book I needed that gives an overview. The first chapter is on "your envelope" - this is exactly where I was going to start before I got this book and OF COURSE they address your envelope in the first chapter because it's where you start! What a relief for me to find this book.
  
• The Green Self-Build Book: How to design and build your own eco-home This is a beautiful book and thorough.
• Homemade Money: How to Save Energy and Dollars in Your Home This book goes over things like windows, appliances. Easy to read. Recommended. I see it was donated to my library by our local Backwoods Solar. Cool.
• Natural Beauty at Home: More Than 250 Easy-to-Use Recipes for Body, Bath, and Hair this book has everything from shampoo and mouthwash to face masks and lip gloss. I want to learn to make an aloe vera gel with tea tree oil like the one I use that has been discontinued. There are other fun recipes here that I want to try. Good Coronavirus self-quarantine projects.

The Complete Herbal Handbook for the Dog and Cat

The Complete Herbal Handbook for the Dog and Cat by Juliette de Baïracli Levy is very old but it's a classic and a must-read if you are starting out learning about holistic veterinary medicine. It helps to know the history.  Juliette de Baïracli Levy was an English herbalist.
