I thought before, i only have few relatives because my last name is not commonly used,for example, santos, that is so common last name. i am thankful in face book because i found a lot of relatives, and we are connected now. did you experience same with me?

Yeah!! i do hav a lot of relatives on facebook. In fact i hav first been invited by a cousin of mine and then i joined facebook. After that i hav started receivin a lot of friend requests from my relatives. Whats funny is that i had forgotten most of the relatives from whom i received requests. It was really great to get in touch with those forgotten ones. Facebook is a really great website to keep in touch with your relatives.

Well I am just thankful that I found most of my relatives having an FB account long before I signed up. I was more active on Friendster and decided to move because most of them were there.

I dont really look for all my relatives. I just try to look for relatives who were close to me, like my cousins who was brought by their father in another country when they were still young etc. There are many people who has the same last name or middle name as I but are not familiar to me, these people I dont invite.

Yes,really. I have found some of my relatives here in facebook. And they also found me,see? That's how helpful facebook is. In fact I just receive a message from my Uncle whom I never met for years. And I my cousins from abroad found me through facebook. Isn't it great? Thanks for the one who created this site.

My father has found a lot of his long lost relatives and friends in Facebook. I found many as well, but not as many as him. I have also seen some of my 2nd cousins profile (they live in the US while I live here in the Philippines), but I don't know them personally, so I don't add them to my friends list. But I am hoping I can meet them someday.

I became "friends" with my half-sister on Facebook. I knew she existed because I am older. She had no idea that she had an older sister. I don't think we will ever be sisters, but at least we are acquainted now.

Yes! I found a lot of relatives and a month ago, I saw my aunt in facebook. She's the aunt who gave me this big bar of chocolates a fwe months back and I was so glad to see her in facebook cause I was able to say thanks to her. And I am hoping that on her next visit, she will give me chocolates again. lol

Yes. Facebook is great in keeping in touch with relatives especially those who are now in other countries. It saves a lot of money than sending snail mails and making frequent phone calls.
