The link takes me to the overall gallery page, not to an individual memory.
To share an individual memory in a gallery, click the blue "Share" link under the title of the memory. A window will pop up and the direct link to the memory is at the bottom.

Thank you!
Do you think the first initial might be a Y instead of a T? That top bar looks rather wavy for a T.

maybe
what combination of letters - comes up with a surname that actually exists??

I couldn't get back to this last night, but now I've got more time on my hands.
I can't find the last names "Togro" or "Yogro" in FS. I tried doing a wildcard search for Martha using the birth and death years and either the first initial T or Y and still came up with nothing close.
Then the thought came to me that the last initial looks someone like an unusually written J, so I tried that, and I found Martha Joyce. She was the closest match by far. I'm not saying she is the match, but she is the closest thing I could find, so it's either her or someone who isn't in the Family Tree. Unfortunately she has no attached sources and was added by FS back in 2012.
So, unless anyone else has any ideas as to what that last initial could be, I'm willing to say we can't tag anyone in this record (yet).

understood
I know we may not (at this time) be able to link to a person in FS FT
but I was just as much interested in hearing feedback as to what the most likely surname was that which was written.
TOGRO AND YOGRO - dont seem to come up anywhere as valid surnames
on any of these bibles/samplers etc - other sources like ancestry or google can be very helpful in identifying the person - even if they are not in FS ( and can then be added to FS)
Thanks for your feedback.

No problem. I did search Ancestry for Martha Joyce and found nothing.
