Remembering My Photos

Everybody has a unique life story. Photos help us remember the past but they don't tell us everything! Your photos need your voice to make the story complete.

• Consider drawing a picture of a story from your life if you don’t have many photos.
• Find a photo that you can tell a story about: a fun memory, a sad day, an accomplishment, etc. Write down everything you remember about that day. Who else was there? What do they remember?
• Find more photos that tell the story of your life. If you had to choose one picture to represent each year of your life, which photos would you choose?
• Ask a parent or grandparent to show you photos of when they were younger and ask them what they remember.

• Upload a photo from your life as a Memory on FamilySearch, explaining the story behind the picture as an audio recording or a written story.
