Adding Memories to FamilySearch Family Tree

Without a real effort to pass down family photos and stories, the richness and depth they add to our family history can be lost in just three generations. Things that were critical to our grandparents could be utterly unknown to us today. Bring your photos, documents and stories to this 'hands on' class.
