[LegacyUG] Facebook & Images
Thanks Brian for the input. Am a ninety year old and thought it was a program for sharing family records. Don't even know how to respond to all those "so and so accepts you as a friend". At first it was from relatives and then people I don't know. Now the information I need is how to back out and stop anything more coming. Thanks again. Brian L.
