FamilySearch Memories - much more than photos


FamilySearch Memories Landing Page
Memories are much more than photos! The Photos feature on FamilySearch.org is now called Memories. Upload photos and documents, record stories, and create albums about your ancestors. It's simple to do and lets you share your precious memories with all of your family.

So upload a photo, type a quick story, or create an album and save a little memory this week!

(And as always, come visit the Family History Center if you'd like some help or a quick demonstration. We love sharing memories!)
