Using Stories for some of the features of research logs or even for recording personal interviews (either formal or memories) are also a great way to document an ancestor. Future enhancements of FamilySearch will allow these stories to become sources as well. | Using Stories for some of the features of research logs or even for recording personal interviews (either formal or memories) are also a great way to document an ancestor.

One way to help facilitate collaboration is to add a "Surname Story" and tag as many ancestors as possible in that story. Add a brief blurb about how you found out about them. Start the story off with something like the following | |||
"Hello This story is a simple collection of the people in my ancestry of the surname xyz and how I learned about them. This story serves as a focal point for members of this extended family in order to foster collaboration among the descendants. Please feel free to comment about any of the individuals listed or if you have information about persons who should be added. I have listed and tagged each of the names with a small commentary on how I learned about them. Comments of significant interest will be edited into the story by me. Please contribute any significant facts about any of these individuals to their individual pages and or memories. Additionally if any of the persons tagged in this story need to be merged with another Family Tree ID please tag the surviving person in this story and leave a comment" <br> | |||
