New Family Group Program

This new program was an amazing idea, it makes total sense! I created a family group for my maternal Swiss cousins to work together on our common reserved ordinances. Anyone of our 16 cousins needing an ordinance simply goes to our family group and selects an ordinance.

It has worked so well I wanted to set up a family group for my paternal cousins. You can understand my frustration that we can only create or join one group. That doesn't make sense! We are all part of our larger family, descending from common ancestors working together to do their work. The cousins who joined our cousins group are going to find out they cannot create a group or join another group. WHY?

I would highly recommend that we not limit the number of gamily groups or at least have at least four groups to allow our extended families to be working together.

Thanks for your consideration and for your tireless work!

    This feature is still in its infancy - having only recently been released. The plan is for users to have multiple groups available to them. Right now the program can only accommodate one group per person. The programmers are already working on making it available for more groups.
