FamilySearch Memories

Pam Ingermanson

Pam Ingermanson spoke to us this week about the Memories section of FamilySearch. She and her husband have worked for FamilySearch in various capacities for many years, and she has unique knowledge of the website.

We looked at the Gallery, where you can add photos and documents and which is your private collection. Pam demonstrated the process for adding photos, stories and audio memories of your ancestors. She stressed adding titles and tagging each person in the photo. We can also share photos and record a memory about a photo.

There are two apps for FamilySearch: FamilySearch Memories and FamilySearch Tree. Both provide the ability to add information and photos when you are away from your computer.

The final icing on the cake was the "Find Relatives Around Me" option on the FamilyTree mobile app. Many of us who attended the meeting found that we were related!
