Find Ancestors

I'm making like a tourist and going on the steam train. There is a queenies festival on in Port Erin.

I will bring back some

Fresh queenies in garlic butter

For later

I remember that frock, the spots were red...matched my eyes lol... velvety I seem to remember.

The frock I am wearing on FB my mum told me she still has it, only because it was the only one I had as a baby :-( ...wonder what I wore when it was in the wash? She told me she has loads of my younger sisters baby dresses...typical :-) and she saved a lot of her toys and none of mine.
I have to remind her regular how hard done by I was as a child :-D

You forgot to add Family aswell to the title Gins

HOW DO THEY DO THAT?

Can someone familiar with the workings of Facebook please explain its workings to me?

I am a member of Facebook but only very rarely do I make a post on there. Access to almost all of my "Profile" is restricted and what is shown is a work of pure fiction in any case, no places, dates ect, not even my correct name. I do not accept any requests to be someone's friend as some of you will already know.

I have just now logged on to Facebook just to see what was happening and I noticed "People you might know" on the page. I clicked on "See All" and was presented with a total of 278 pictures of people who Facebook obviously believe that I might be acquainted with. Most I don't know from Adam but amongst them I can identify some relatives of Gin, Fanny and Jax but neither G, F or J themselves are amongst those people shown. There are a few people that I used to know in there but none with whom I have made any contact with whatsoever for years via FB or any other media. There is even one chap who according to his profile now lives in New Zealand. I only knew him briefly in England during the 1990's, we were never close friends and shared no history that I am aware of.

If anyone can explain how Facebook do that I would be keen to know.

From Yahoo Answers:

Primarily they use email addresses, but also networks, schools and friends of friends.

Emails:

Anytime you search for your friends by allowing Facebook to get your entire email address list, you are allowing them to create links in both directions. Both from you to other people, but also in the future, from other people to you.

For example, I signed up for a brand new Facebook account using an email address that I had only ever used with one person. As soon as I logged in, it showed me her account as a suggested friend. There was no information in my account, so the only way that they could have done that match was by matching the login email with a list my friend had supplied.

This means that anytime you allow Facebook to download your email list, it stores it forever after and uses it to link you in future to friends and them to you.

networks:

If you are in the same networks (i.e. company, school at the same time, you might know them).

friends of friends:

If 3 of your friends have the same friend, then the likelihood of you knowing that friend is higher than normal.

Just arrived Port Erin. Sun is shining, glass of cold beer lovely

Queenies are Queen scollops

Jax

As your thread is the first one following Gins - would it be an idea to EDIT your post - with a C&P with Ginny opening thread - then if it RR again the thread is still explained

Thank you all for kind thoughts today xxxxxxx

Oh right Toots....shall give them a miss as they come from the sea...enjoy though

Good idea Renes shall go and do it now

ja...x

Wow...We got a finkin amongst us...Good finkin Renes.

I dont have that problem with my Fanny Gaslight account on fb Jonesey.
Is it maybe cos you have "liked"GR fb page?

Nor on another that I use just now and then to be totally incogwotsit...
Maybe cos I dont search for anyone through them?
Wouldnt matter anyway of course as both are very untrue,well maybe one of em is and not the Fanny one............Terrible trouble getting me Fanny Account I had,fb had to be hammered into submission that I AM a "real"person. :-D

"Ring out the Bells ........... it is 1.55pm and the celebrations are about to begin....

Champagne corks are popping, the fizz is foaming and the Champagne fountain is being filled!

I hear the chink of glasses and the cheers of celebration.

<3 !!! Happy Birthday to 'our Fred' !!! <3

May the merriment commence and I am sure that it will continue well into the early hours.

All are welcome!

Ok I am fed up with FB now.

I changed my profile pic to me as a baby as you know...today I recieve a private message from someone I dont know (but she had contacted my sister who has never married so she recognised her surname) saying "you were smaller than that when I last saw you"

Now how does she know who I am...is it because my stupid sister has'nt got her profile hidden?....or is my profile suddenly open for all to see now?

ja...x

Gin thank you for finding that answer for me which could partially but not totally answer the question.

The guy in New Zealand for example. I have never emailed him, nor he me. We did not go to the same school or work at the same place and I do not belong to any "Network". We did for a while share the same hobby but whilst I can now see from his profile that he apparently remains involved in, I do not.

Similarly Jax and I do not know one another's email addresses and have never communicated with one another even by GR PM as far as I can recall. The only way that I know Jax's surname is by having seen her comments and picture (Not profile) on FB. The relatives of hers that I see amongst the list of my potential FB friends I am assuming are her 2 daughters. I am only aware of their existence of via the comments that Jax has made about them on this thread.

The reverse is also true since you and I and FBG and I do know one anothers email addresses and have used them to communicate how come neither you or FBG appear in the list of "People you might Know".

Many other people who I know are members of FB, who I do know and whose email addresses are in my email address list do not appear amongst those in the list of my potential FB friends.

It all still remains a mystery to me.

None of my email addys on fb are the one you know Jonesey...........That one is a private one just for us.. :-D
