It used to be that you could go to the gallery and start putting in name of a person who had sources attached and that person would come up and that you could add those sources to another person in your tree. I don't see that it does that any more?? can you fix gallery so it does that again?

    @christine keeler do you mean Memories rather than Sources? If so, the whole Memories area of FamilySearch has been changed extensively fairly recently, and you would be best looking/posting in the dedicated Community Group https://community.familysearch.org/en/group/337-memory-feedback .

    I am talking about the Gallery which has changed alot as well. they need to change the gallery. it used to be that you could search for a person from your tree that had sources so you could attach them to another person in the family. now if you go into Gallery and you start putting in a name of someone that has a source, it does not search for the person. for instance, I have a source that I did for Signe Hilma Elgqvist and I want to attach that same source ( a congregation record pg 1886) to her daughter Lillie. Gallery doesn't recognise that I am looking for Elgqvist, so I have to go through 1000's of records to find Elgqvist congregation record pg 1886. It needs to be corrected so you can search for the person and attach the record. I hope this makes sense to you. I appreciate your help with this. Chris Keeler

    I can't find Signe Hilma Elgqvist in the Family Tree, could you provide her profile id please?

    But given your problem is with the recent changes to Memories, you really need to post in the Group I linked to above, that is where such issues are discussed and tracked.

    I believe the feature is the “Source Box," not the memories gallery

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/what-is-a-source-box

    Note that a memory can be used as a source, and also be tagged as a memory but are viewed in different tabs in FamilySearch


    There is a search feature in the new memories gallery that allows you to search by word, title, etc
