Add Date and Location to Photos, Stories, and Documents

Updates_PhotosStories

It seems like half of the magic of family photos, documents, or stories comes from knowing details about “when” and “where” they were taken or took place. As a regular user of the FamilySearch Family Tree and Photos tools you may be wondering “How do I add such historically important and interesting details?” Well, it’s easy.

  1. Click the “Event” button on the photos/stories/documents page.
  2. Click the “Edit” button.
  3. Enter the information you have for either “Date” or “Location” or both
  4. Click Save.

That’s it. I count four steps. Not bad. With the simple addition of date and location you can give generations present and future better context for the family memories you all share.
