Taking Jenny's reasoning below a step further - I think I would source information from Facebook as personal knowledge of the person who posted it to their FB page and then note in the citation details that it was posted on their FB page. (Assuming here that it's information about that person or their family that they actually have personal knowledge of. If it's not something they would reasonably know then I wouldn't use it.)
To me the person is the source, FB is just the vehicle they used to provide the information. Linda M.
