How to Add Photos and Memories to FamilySearch

Adding Memories to FamilySearch

FamilySearch lets you upload photos, stories, and documents to attach to your ancestors. Here's how:

Step 1: Navigate to Memories

Click "Memories" in the top menu bar. You'll see options for Photos, Stories, Documents, and Audio.

Step 2: Upload Your File

Click "Add" or the + button, then choose the type of memory you're adding. Select the file from your computer.

Step 3: Add Details

Give your memory a title and description. Add the date if you know it.

Step 4: Tag People

This is the important part! Click "Tag" to connect the memory to people in your family tree:

• For photos, click on faces to tag individuals
• Search for the person by name
• The memory will appear on their profile

Tips

• Scan old photos at 300 DPI or higher for best quality
• Add context in the description - who, what, when, where
• Tag everyone who appears in a photo
