The majority of people who upload FS memories do so directly to the Family Tree record of the person it corresponds to. There is nothing wrong with that - - but often there are some great reasons to stretch beyond this very limited/inflexible perspective - and group things together in albums.

One reason is to group things by subject or theme - and not just by person.

This also makes various other options available that are not currently available when accessing memories from the "person record"

Here are some examples of Albums- - with a common theme:
