adding photos to ancestors data base?

PhilipHershberger

What is the process to add and save a photo of a headstone/tombstone in Find a Grave to a deceased ancestor in Family search.org.? Thanks!!

Short answer (hopefully will be sufficient):

2 basic approaches - 1 of which would actually attach tombstone image.

1. Sources: Attach the Findagrave record to the ancestor (this would not attach the tombstone image - just the reference - which is essentially the same result).

2. Memories: Find the contributor of the tombstone image on Findagrave - get their permission to copy the image. Then Attach it as a Memory for the person in FamilySearch.

There are substeps for either path you choose - perhaps some Help Center documents for Sources or Memories would help.

Hi @ PhillipHershberger as suggested by @genthusiast when you have had permission from Findagrave, are instructions from the Help Centre of Family Search to upload an image to attach onto a Person's page.

Thank you for participating in adding to your Family Tree your contributions are much appreciated.
