Family Search Memories
While research makes it possible to trace our ancestors back many generations,
it is the photos, letters, notes, stories and ephemera that bring them to life.
Unfortunately, the work we do to capture that ephemera often disappears after
we are gone.
Even better, when you connect a memory to the person - or persons - in that
memory, FamilySearch will also make a connection to them in the Family Tree.
When you click on the
Memories item in the
person’s data card, the
screen will redraw to
show you those items.
You can also share
those memories to
Facebook, Twitter,
Pinterest or via email.
The Memories Gallery collects all your photos, stories, documents and
recordings in one location. You can then organize them into albums. Since the
Gallery displays all
the things you have
added, having
albums will make it
easier to organize
your collection.
Even if you aren’t ready to add your own memories, take advantage of the Find
screen. Enter a name or surname in the search box, choose the type of memory
you are looking for then click the Find button. You will be pleasantly surprised
when you see the results. It’s also a great way to find research cousins who may
just have even more information about your ancestor.
Click on one of the images on the screen and FamilySearch Memories redraws
the screen displaying the image you selected with panels on the right listing the
people who are in this photo/story/document along with details about the
image. These details include date,
place and contributor.
