How to add documents pertaining to unrelated people: Among my families' huge cache of papers I found a booklet containing poetry put together by Wealthy Bartlett in the 1800's on or near Amherst, Ma. None of these folks are my relatives, as far as I kno

w, but I want to share it on Familysearch as it might be helpful to others (and it might lead to discoveries to me!). How would I go about this. Thanks, Laurie

The preceding link is how to ADD an unonnected person into FS FT if you need to .

 

BUT be sure and do a FIND first - you can find anyone in the database of billions of people - the FIND option is not just for YOUR family - you can find anyone family or not - and then you can add memories to the record you find.

 

Find option:

Thanks golson vt,

I would never have known that.

"+ Add unconnected person" should have a section to itself, not under recents ....

something that hasn't been added is NOT recent
