I want to change the settings on my gmail account that I added when I first created the group, Can I do that? Or is there a way to delete the group ( no members but me) and start over. What I dont understand is how to send invites from my gmail instead of live mail. I dont even understand what that is and how to retrieve replys

You can change your email for FamilySearch, by accessing the account settings: https://www.familysearch.org/identity/settings/account
When you invite others to a family group, you can click on the option to "copy link". Then you can open the email program you prefer and create an email for your family and paste the link into the body of that email.

Will you publish step by step instructions on how to use the groups. The members in our group are daunted by it.

We would like to use the Family Groups feature to cooperate as a ward family. I noticed the maximum number of people in a group is 100 people. Is there any way Family Search could increase that number?
Thank you!

That is the limit for groups since they are made for immediate families. Are you using the Family Group feature to try to coordinate ordinance work in your ward? If so, Ordinances Ready already pulls from ward and stake submitted names. It is recommended for individuals to share with immediate family or the shared temple list. Having ward members share their reservations to just a ward group prohibits others who may be related from accessing those ordinances and oftentimes delays the work from being completed.
