How can I attach a slideshow to a person's memory page ? It would be great if this is possible.

    @Rick Kramer

    Great question! I didn't even know this was possible. I went to the FS home page, clicked on the question mark at the top of the page, and queried how to add a slide show to memories. There were a couple good answers. But this looked like the best one.

    Good luck, and Happy Hunting!

    Slideshows in FamilySearch - really only exist at the ALBUM level (a slideshow is a slideshow of photos in a given album)

    Currently there is no direct way to link an album to a Family Tree person profile. (though of course photos in the album can be linked to a family tree record)

    because of this - there is also no direct way to link a slideshow to a family tree record.

    HOWEVER - using a family tree Memories - STORY item - you CAN reference the existence of virtually anything that has a URL (which slideshows do)

    THUS one work around is to do what I did hear in this example:

    https://www.familysearch.org/photos/artifacts/166149372?cid=mem_copy

    which references the link of the slideshow:

    https://www.familysearch.org/photos/gallery/album/974761?playSlideshow


    though in stories items - urls are not true clickable hyperlinks and thus yu have to copy and paste.

    You can even add audio to slideshows - such as in this slideshow I made:
