>What happens to documents and pictures in my Gallery, under Memories, when I die? I have more than 900 of them. Do I need to somehow transfer them all to our five children, or will they automatically have access to them?

To Nilda: FamilySearch will only close LDS accounts upon the death of a user. NON LDS accounts dont get closed.

person profiles for living persons that were entered on the deceased persons account (before they were deceased) - will forever be in the person's private space and never be reachable by others.

and thus people will not be able to navigate to memories items for these records via the normal family view.

@Victor Cave​ They will be able to view them!

FYI

.

ONLY those 'Documents' and 'Pictures' in 'cavevd's' "Gallery" that have actually been added to the "Memories" of DECEASED individuals/persons in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".

.

NONE of the 'Documents' and 'Pictures' in 'cavevd's' "Gallery" that have actually been added to the "Memories" of LIVING individuals/persons in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" will be seen or available to ANY Other User/Patron.

.

[ Of course, until the 'status' of those LIVING individuals/persons is changed to DECEASED. ]

.

And, furthermore, ALL of the 'Documents' and 'Pictures' in 'cavevd's' "Gallery" have NOT been added to the "Memories" of, either, DECEASED or LIVING individuals/persons in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" will likewise NOT be seen or available to ANY Other User/Patron.

.

When 'cavevd' dies/passes away, his/her "Gallery" will certainly disappear and NOT be available to anyone.

If I were you, where possible, I would pass on a copy of ALL you have in your "Gallery" to each of your Children.

.

At least, that way, when you do die/pass away, all of your Children will have a (Copy) of all you had.

.

Why not - you cannot take it with you when you are gone.

.

Other family members should have such, to pass on to future generations of your family.

.

----------

.

What is included in the "Memories" 'Tab' of all DECEASED individuals/person will always be available to all Users/Patrons in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".

.

But, it would be nice for immediate family members to have their own personal copy.

.

----------

.

Just my thoughts.

.

But, that may just be me.
