Hello,

Through the passing of various individuals I am now the family historian for my fathers side. As such I received various family bibles which include numerous documents including an ornate marriage contract. But additionally items such as pew rental receipts and many more are also in my collection.

While I do not have photos of many of my ancestors, we do have these religious documents which paints the picture of their character and morality. Would these documents be acceptable for upload as memories? I ask as their mainly from the Catholic faith?

    Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    As an aside ...

    Just in case you were not aware ...

    And ...

    IF, you have not already; THEN, ...

    Can I humbly suggest, that if that you may wish to consider, "Joining" one particular 'Group', in the "Groups" Section, of this "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

    I believe that you may find this particular 'Group' very helpful/beneficial.

    The 'Group' that I am suggesting is:
