Thus, I prefer to cite where the actual birth took place, rather than where the family lived at the time, using the latter only when I don't know the former.

Re: [LegacyUG] LUG vs FB vs on line forums
Ward, Thanks for the info. The amount of mail showing up is amazing and I will figure w away to deal with it. Does this method of users group not impact Internet Provider traffic? I noticed questions on another topic that applied to me. Kid born in one place and then taken to another. My dad was in the NAVY, we traveled a lot. While stationed in Virginia so he could work in Washington DC I was born at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland and taken “home” to Virginia days later. When I enter the birth event I used the Virginia as location and the hospital as the address of the event. Lots of questions to ask. I guess I’ll just make a master list and toss a few out from time to time.

There is a search function for the archived e-mails, so you can look for topics that have previously been asked and answered. Of course, ask again here if the search results do not quite hit the mark. The volume of e-mail is best managed by using your mail client to automatically filter them into a separate folder. The Facebook group appears to be helping the many newcomers a lot, due to the ability to use pictures. I find the mail list easier for quickly browsing through the e-mails/postings. First of all, the FB users seem to be unwilling to start each new post with a subject/topic line. The mail list has subject lines. Sometimes these are not used correctly (hijacked threads, non-specific subjects), but often they are. Secondly, on FB the latest additions to a topic are buried in the comments.
