Sometimes when you're sharing memories on FamilySearch you
have a bunch of things that you want to go into one thing.
Maybe it's the the scans of a few pages of your ancestors
diary or journal or whatever or perhaps it's a collage of all
the different all the photos they have from this one photo
book. But you're having problems uploading them all
into one thing. You're having to implement them separate but
you want them it is one thing on FamilySearch. And I'm
going to show you how to do that.
Welcome to Family History Fanatics is a channel that
wants you to have fun while you're doing your family
history and it's not very fun getting frustrated by
technology because it's not doing the things that you want
to do. So I'm going to show you how to get it to do the things
that you want to do. And if that is getting multiple images
into one memory. Say I have these photos my trip to
Philmont and I want to put them all into one group and I
want to put them all into FamilySearch but under one one
story, one memory. How do I do that? There's a couple ways you
can do that. One way I found is you can go online and search
for Jpeg to PDF. Now, you've have to be very careful because
a lot of the ads are tricking you into thinking that this is
what you want to do but it's actually a virus or something.
You gotta be very very careful. Look for like if it's got an if
it's got this right here, the little arrow with an I inside
it and X, that means it's an ad. This thing is where you
would put the things and pull this down so I can see it then
I'm going to brag my mouse across the things that I want
in the picture. Then I'm going to hold my left mouse
button and pull them up you see. You see it's it's holding
them. It's got the photos in the hand and I'm going to copy
them right there. It'll take a while. So now this one's done.
We're going to click combined or download or whatever it is
and now we have our PDF right here. So we're just going to
save it and this is what it is. It's just the two pictures.
Another thing you can do is you can go into say Google Draw
from or Microsoft Word, make a new document and put the photos
into the document. So, for instance, let's go over here
and let's click new Google Docs. You click insert, look
for picture or image, upload from computer, then you're
going to go to where it is. For instance, it's on my dead
desktop and so I have four pictures here. So, I'm going to
again hold my left mouse button and drag this box that I'm
creating over the four that I want. Click in and then it's
got them all and I can resize them however I want but I think
this is fine I think this is fine I mean look at that look
at that man that was great that was a fun time anyways then
what you're going to do with this once you have all the
pictures here you're going to go over to files and then look
for print but you don't want to put it into a printer that you
own you want to put it into save as PDF and then just click
save and again it'll ask you where you want it to go on your
computer and now you have it and this is what it looks like
we got all our pictures right here so then what you're
going to do go to to the FamilySearch find your memories and
you're going to and you're going to go back again move the
the explore the file explorer around and then hold the left
mouse button and move it over you see it's grabbed it again
and we're going to move it into photos okay alright so I made a
mistake you can't upload PDFs into photos but you can upload
into documents. You did the same thing you would do with
with any normal memories but then you're going to have it up
in FamilySearch. Now you might have something like this where
because of the sizes of the photos this one is much smaller
and this one is much larger. That's something you're
going to have to deal with in the photo itself. That's
something you're going to have to check to make sure while
you're making the things. Let's try it with the other one and
see how it works. So the the doc the Google Docs version or
the Microsoft Word or the Open Office whatever it is the the
doc version of this is that going to be much better and if
you're not that tech savvy you just plop them in and it does
everything for you if if you have a little bit more know how
then you can alter things and make it directly to the PDF but
I think this should be enough this is how you're going to
take a bunch of photos that you have combine them into one file
and then put them on FamilySearch under one memory that
way you can scroll you can see everything as opposed to having
to scroll through and reload all of the different things
that you have in this case the two that I have so I hope that
helped you get all the photos that you wanted on the FamilySearch
