What will happen with Google+ shuts down.

What's going to happen with Legacy User Groups when Google+ is shutdown.

Quick question - where are you online to learn about Legacy?

I have a quick question for those in this group - we plan to move all the posts and comments into a blog, but I am just wondering where our members are at online. Do you use only our LVUG Google+ community or do you also use Facebook and/or Legacy News. Feel free to comment about how you get your Legacy news, tips and how-tos. Thanks

Google+ UPDATE

GOOGLE+ UPDATE You have probably seen that Google has moved up the shutdown date for Google+ from August to April 2019! Last week I mentioned that Shannon Thomas and I were working out how to move all the content from our Legacy Virtual Users' Group Community to a blog. Cousin Russ and a few other genealogists with Google+ groups have recently done this AND it seems to work for them. So I went through the download process last weekend and read up on best ways to export the data, maintain it, and import it in to a blog format. There are some good articles online about how to move data seamlessly and how to plan the move to a blog. Shannon and I will chat and play around with the blog format - we want posts and comments to be easy to find and we want to make sure that you will be able to find it and, most importantly, we want to make sure that it works before we "go live."
