Answer 10

Yes, how do I become a voting member?  I have approximately 200 photos on familysearch/memories/albums.  I include pictures of my childhood and family because I already have great grandchildren.  Someday, I will be the "ancient" ancestor.  I hear people say they have no photos.  Yes, your life should be remembered, too.

Answer 17

I have not yet answered because I'm still just in the beginning of scanning the family photos. Sometimes I see in the forum that you should vote on pictures and each time I think it would be nice if they had a theme.

For instance, one week with instruments in the picture, one week with some kind of vehicle in the picture, one week with just babies, one with weddings, one with funny hats etc. So now I'm asking if that would be a good idea? I know I would be more interested in pics with old vehicles for example and I might not be the only one. It would perhaps also be a great discussion starter about the pictures participating.

Comments

You've got the badge.  I like the idea of themes.  This might be a different element we can add to the project. .
