Community - Southern States
The majority of the states have Community Groups that are monitored by a Group Leader. However, the Southern states are mainly unrepresented. Would any one be interested in helping create and monitor a Group for these States? It is not necessary that you live in the South. Please reach out if you, or if you know of someone who might be interested

Ellen, volunteers create groups for locations or subjects. These groups are structured to meet the needs of the people that are interested. Active groups usually involve several group leaders. The group leaders gather and share resources about the area. The ideal group is active with many people asking and answering questions. As more people join the group and start sharing information, and helping others, exciting things happen. Many people are able to break through brick walls. Some group members join the group with minimal research skills and before they know it they have learned useful skills and they can start helping others. As people share their research suggestions and successes others find answers to their own questions. It has been exciting to watch new groups come alive and see the joy of connecting families together.
I sent you a private message with an invitation to chat with me.
