If you go to facebook.com/family/ you will find a nifty directory that allows you to search for people on Facebook with the same last name as you.  Facebook also made the announcement, on mothers day of 2009, that now you can list family information in your profile.  Now, not only can you list the person you are in a relationship with, but also your parents, and any siblings and children you may have.

The We’re Related App

There is also a Facebook app called We’re Related by FamilyLink that allows you to keep track of your relatives, and perhaps discover relatives you did not even know you had.  We’re related also allows you to build your family tree.  A testimonial from FamilyLink.com reads:

“This tool has made it possible for me to communicate with my children whom I have not seen close on nine years now. It has also afforded me the opportunity to keep in touch with my relatives far and near, I have even managed to find long lost friends. This is a really great tool.”

Easily create a Facebook Group for your Family

Facebook even has a custom page that makes it easy to create a group for your extended family on facebook.
