Taging photos

Derrick.a.Martin

Often when a photo is tagged which contains friends the program expects them to be added to the family records even though the are just friends of a family member in that picture and may only be tagged with a first christian name. can they not be tagged without attatching them.

Short Answer: 'No'.

That sort of "Tagging", of a "Memory", in 'FamilySearch', IS to "Tag", the individuals/persons, that ALREADY exists, in the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch'.

That sort of "Tagging", of a "Memory", in 'FamilySearch', is NOT simply, to indicate WHO is in a "Memory".

You can DO that sort of thing, of indicating WHO is in a "Memory", by either,

(1) ADDING the details, of those in a "Memory", in the "Text" of "Share what you know about this Image"

.... [ ie. Under (beneath) the "Memory" ... ]

Or,

(2) In the "Description" of the "Memory" - if, you are/were the one adding the "Memory", in the first place.

Here is a "Knowledge Article" in 'FamilySearch':

How do I tag memories of my ancestors or relatives in Family Tree?

Where, it states, among other things:

Tags on photos and documents identifies the people who are in them. Tags can also ensure that the photo or document appears with the person’s record in Family Tree.

I hope, that this may help/assist, somewhat.
