FamilySearch Memories Tips and Tricks

1.	Sometimes daughters are named after their mothers and sons after their fathers. When tagging a person in a photo, it helps to always use the maiden name for women and the name of the person and birth year for men. This helps to keep track of the correct person in the photo.

2.	Put the full name of a person in the title or description of a photo, including their nickname. This helps others to find the photo when they use the "find" feature to search for photos. Example: First name, maiden name, married name, nick name.

3.	Tag and identify as many people in a group photo as possible. This helps others find the photo and allow for collaboration with those who may be able to identify people not yet tagged.

4.	Check memories, then people, then added by tree, often. New photos are being added on a regular basis. You may find photos of ancestors never seen before.

5.	Click on memories, then people, then select a specific person. On the page that comes up, click Related People. This allows you to see other people in the family that have photos linked to them. This will also display people that do not have a photo linked to them. If you have a picture of those people, you can add them. This is a good way to see who is missing photos.

6.	Create an album, put a group of photos in the album and then share that album with other family members.
