Below are titles and links to almost 150 websites written and published by some of the 133 members of the Genea-Bloggers Group on Facebook. Most of the links were obtained from individual GBer's profile pages at Facebook on August 13 and 14, 2008. A few links not listed at the profile page were added because of my personal knowledge of your publications.
It is my plan to publish the entire list in a special listing at my blog, Hill Country of Monroe County, Mississippi. I would like the list to be as complete as possible and need your help to finish it.
Note 1: If you are a member of GBers on FB and whose website/blog/publication is not listed below, please contact me if you wish to be included. If you publish additional websites you wish included in this index, please let me know and I'll add those titles/links.
Note 2: I did not add to the index a feature I much wished for --- after the title/link I wished to have the following statement: "by NAME OF WRITER" except on the four blogs I own. Because several of you post anonymously I didn't make any attempt to identify owner/writer/publisher but I feel such would be of value in future listings. If you wish your name to show on this index, please contact me.
Note 3: If you do not wish for your publication to be linked on this index, please request that it be removed.
Note 4: It is amazing how many members of GBers on FB don't have a clear notice or links to their webpages anywhere that I can find on the Profile page. I'm not talking about those of you who are readers and don't publish --- but experienced publishers of long standing who ignore the opportunity to post a link to their webpages on their profile. And I'm amazed at the number of links listed in the profile pages that are garbled and not workable. I recommend you double-check your Profile page and list your websites/blogs and verify that the url is workable.
Note 5: If my link below is broken, please let me know as soon as possible. Also please notify me if I've got spelling errors in the title of your website.
Note 6: I don't have time to go through all 133 profile pages again looking for your publications and links to them. If you update there, please update this listing also by either posting a comment here or by emailing me. Thanks.
Here are the titles and links to the publications of some of the GBers on FB.

Wow, Terry, what an amazing collection you have created for your fellow genea-bloggers! Thank you very much for your efforts!
Terry, thanks. I started a list of my own but gave up trying to keep it updated after a few days! Kinexxions is listed twice, which I appreciate but perhaps you could add (the website) and (the blog) after, or within, the appropriate link?
Terry, Are you maybe on the "new" facebook? Because I'm on the old facebook and there are no links showing to anyone's blogs from anyone's pages. I have all my blogs and web sites listed on my "edit profile" page but I don't see any of them when I look at my actual profile page. I don't see any links to your blogs from your profile either.
I know you've mentioned before that we should all put a short paragraph below our profile pictures but I don't see a way to do that on the "old" facebook either.
By each of my links (Creative Gene, Creative Genealogy, and Haplogroup H), please add "by Jasia". Also note that the one link you have is "Haplogroup". It should be "Haplogroup H".
Thanks!
Sorry about that Terry. If I click on "information" I do see my links and your links. I just didn't think to open "boxes" to find the info.
KATHRYN, I've been needing a list of sites too. I hope it will help.
BECKY, Yes, I noticed I ended up with two. BIG K links to one site Little k links to another --- did I miss the name? Please advise. I'll never think of you as anything but Big K and Little k again. LOL! Let me know the name you wish to list for one and I'll update the index.
TERRY
JASIA, Yes, I'm using "new" FB -- and if a member of the group lists his/her blogs by name/url they are easy to find in the Profile section (generally under Contacts). Some also list their main website in a comment under their photo --- and others have moved their URLs/links to other places. It gets confusing to say the least --- but I believe strongly that one of the benefits of posting a profile is to highlight ones work --- and to not post the name of the website and provide a link is missing a golden opportunity.
But the layout is difficult to use --- I wish each profile for our group provided a lightlighted list of website/blog links just below the name in bold face print! LOL!
One well-known blogger member of GB/FB didn't mention his site by name nor provide a link --- I did a Google and found it --- but on most of the newer members of the group I don't have a clue as to what they write/publish if they don't list websites in their profiles. I'm off my soapbox for now. . .

Terry - could you please add mine?

Thanks!
PS - Love that you've done this! I can't wait to start checking those blogs that I haven't read yet! Thanks so much!
Thanks Wendy. I've looked at all of the sites on the list but haven't had time to do much reading. Some interesting work being done by the GBers Group on FB.

Terry,
Getting a long URL into a mailing list and on Blogger is often a pain when it wraps around and disappears! I don't post enough comments to remember to use TinyURL when on Blogger. I'll test it again.

Hi Terry! Thanks for taking the time to compile this list. I'm very interested in seeing what others are up to. It's too bad we can't syndicate this list.
Please add my blog, as I joined after you first compiled the list.
