There’s a lot more to our family history than just dates and places. That is why FamilySearch isn’t just a family tree. FamilySearch Memories makes it possible to include photos and stories so they will be treasured for generations to come.
What you see here is a person card on the FamilySearch family tree. Not only do you see the usual details and sources but there is also a Memories section which includes six memories for this person. Right now there are six Memories included for this person but you only see five of them – the photos.
Scroll down the Memories page and you will find sections for Documents, Stories and even Audio.
FamilySearch Memories is an impressive and affordable way to capture and preserve the stories, photos and other memories your research collects. They also provide free mobile apps – for both iOS and Android devices. With these apps and your mobile phone it is easy to capture audio and video moments. Not only are you preserving and sharing those photos and memories with younger family members, you are also preserving them for future generations.
Here are some of the items collected for my family and ancestors. They include newspaper clippings, postcards, paintings and stories. Finding photos, stories and other items may take time, but once those items are captured and preserved via FamilySearch Memories your present and future family members will appreciate you efforts. With luck, you may even generate some new genealogists in the family.
Are you wondering what all this family goodness will cost? It costs you nothing but your time. FamilySearch family tree, along with their many research support elements, cost you nothing. You have access to a broad range of resources to help you with your research efforts.
