I created an album (20 pictures) of my grandfather's missionary experiences. It will only show under my personal gallery. Is there a way to move it to my grandfather's personal memories page? Nobody seems to know that I've talked to.

    This is not currently possible - though you are not the first person to request it - The idea has been submitted various times.

    One work around is to create a "STORY" entry on the person - that explains the purpose of the album and then includes the URL of the album.

    Note however the link will not be a true hyperlink. and anyone wishing to use it will need to do a select, copy and paste of the url to their browser. (just clicking on it wont work)

    but also note that when anyone views any given memorial item - they also are able to see what albums it belongs to and click on such an album link. This is another way that people can navigate to an album - simply by finding one item they know is part of the album.

    BUT I totally agree - allowing the option to link an album to a person would be very nice.

    You can tag your grandfather's PID in each memory and then they will show on his Memories.

    right - but there is certain functionality - that only exist in an album and not in individual items

    (such as the slideshow option among other things)
