"Memories" at FamilySearch.org:
First register for a free account at familysearch.org. To make your experience with the “Memories” feature more meaningful, search to see if your relative is already on familysearch.org or upload your family tree.
Remember, this is a public site. I advocate not adding the photos of anyone who is still living unless you make sure that person’s information is designated as “living”. Once that happens, you are the only one that can access that photo.

- People Tags. These allow you to designate who is in the photo and link them to their person page in Family Tree so other relatives can enjoy the photo as well.
- Event Date or Place. When known, these bits of information can be extremely important. Knowing when and where a photo was taken helps those viewing it, at least metaphorically, be in their ancestor’s shoes.
- Description. Allows a few more words than the title, so you can explain where this photo came from, who has it currently, and why it’s important to be preserved.
