Untagged Photos Attached to a Story

Generally an untagged photo in the Gallery will never be displayed in FamilySearch. How about a few photos of an experience that is connected to a story, that is attached to me. Will those photos persist on my death without a tag? Generally none of my gallery photos would be visible after my death if there are no tags to ME, but how about to a story attached to me?

Just curious about this. The story with the photo experiences (in this case, my time as a shipboard naval medical officer showing a rescue operation of a small family in the South China Sea) is a great story, but if the photos are not tagged to me, only to the story, will those photos be visible to anyone after my death?

Example:https://www.familysearch.org/photos/artifacts/60932401?cid=mem_copy

I am not in any of the photos, but they describe an event that happened in my life. It doesn't seem like I should have to tag myself to the photos, when I am not in them, just to have them preserved after my death.

    Memories attached to a story will stay attached & visible with the story unless the contributor of the story detaches the photo or the photo is deleted.

    You might find the following article link interesting, and useful also.

    Just to make sure that I totally understand, this is what I am understanding from your response. "Photographs that have NO tags to anyone, but are associated with a story that is tagged to myself, will continue to be visible, even after my death."

    Just wanted to make sure that I understood the answer.

    Thanks

    Hi Stephan

    You are correct, they will continue to be visible. Only you can change that, as you are the contributor.
