    Lois Jean Masters said: Yes. I have had the same experience. Also, I do not see how to access photographs from the Tree. I could see no evidence of a link to photographs on the screen that is brought up in FamilySearch for each individual.

    Please check back as we are adding functionality as quickly as possible.

    We do have the ability to add a photo to a story and add a story to an album.

    Tom Huber said: Many areas of the tree lack printing capability. The Life Sketch is one of those areas that has yet to be fully developed.

    But, it can be copied and pasted into a notepad-like application and printed from there.

    Some areas of FamilySearch are still in development and others need further developing. Areas, when it comes to printing, include the massive tree.

    The notes are printed when you print a Family with sources. But not the life sketch or memories, which was not yet part of the system 8 years ago.

    It took a full ten years to even start getting a means to correct indexes and that has yet to be fully developed.

    We users are not told what is in development or what will be released when. I'm not even sure that FamilySearch can be considered to be at version 1.0 (my opinion).

    That is one reason why I use a third-party family tree management program that interfaces with FamilySearch. Not only because it features many more printing options, but also because it has been in development for a very long time. There are three with free versions: Ancestral Quest, Legacy, and Roots Magic. I use Ancestral Quest, which started life as PAF back before Microsoft released Windows (I have no affiliation with AQ or incline software).
