  1. What parts of FamilySearch are permanent?  Memories 
  1. How large a file can I upload? 15mb per photo or document
  1. How many memories can I upload? Unlimited but after 5,000 images it may be slightly slow opening your Gallery. 10 seconds for 8k memories
  1. What is the Gallery? Where all documents, stories, photos, and audio recordings are stored (found under the Memories tab). 
  1. Should I upload to a person’s page or to the Gallery? A person’s page eliminates an extra step. All your uploads to a person’s page automatically go to your Gallery.
  1. Can you see memories of living people? Yes, if there is a title or topic tag with their name it becomes searchable. Remember all living person pages stay private until after their death. Once deceased, there will be a small window of time before you can see their Memories again. 
  1. How do I share Memories? You can share by tagging deceased ancestors, or by creating albums, or slideshows, or bookmarks.
  1. Memory Ideas: Ancestors, Animals, Births, Cars, Childhood, Deaths, Events, Family, Favorites, Firsts, Friends, Graduation, Hobbies, Homes, Miracles, Missions, Pets, Reunions, Schools, Skills, Sports, Stories, Talents, Testimonies, Trials, Travel, Vacations, Weddings, Work
