Is it possible to link an 'album' to an individual so that it appears in their memories page?

I posted abt 400 letters written by an ancestor in an album so entitled. I would like to link just the album to the ancestor, so I don't clog her memories page with countless letters. Is that possible?

I've done the same with poetry written by an ancestor and would like for just the link to the album to appear in her memories page rather than crowd out all of her photos.

    @JoyBDoyle1 , in regard to linking an album to an ancestor, no. However if you have saved the 400 letters in a PDF format they could be uploaded as a single memory to that individual, provided the PDF conformed to the requirements for uploading PDF Can I upload a PDF to Memories?

    Joy, thank you for posting the letters in an album. Linking just the album to your ancestor is very doable.

    Organize your memories by placing them in albums. Here's how: 

    Steps (website)

    1. Sign in to FamilySearch.
    2. At the top of the page, click Memories.
    3. Click Gallery.
    4. In the toolbar on the left, under Albums, click New Album.
    5. Enter your album name and click Save.

    Adding items from the Gallery

    1. Sign in to FamilySearch.org
    2. Click Memories, and then from the drop-down menu, click Gallery.
    3. Hover over an item you want to add to an album, and then click the check mark that appears within the item. 
    4. Notice the new colored bar near the top of the page. On the right side of the bar, you see how many items are selected. 
    5. Select all the items you want to add to an album.
    6. On the left of the colored bar, just below Gallery, click Actions, and from the drop-down menu, click Add to Album.
    7. Next to the album name where you want to add the items, click the open circle. Or to create a new album, click next to New Album, and enter a name for the new album in the box.
