• Go to your Family Tree at FamilySearch.org. Look at your fan chart, and then select stories or photos on the left.

  • Each person will appear in a different shade of orange. A darker shade means there are more photos or stories in the tree for that person.

  • Review the fan chart, and look for people with white or light orange shading.

  • Make a plan to find photos or stories for those people. Consider reaching out to extended family, especially your grandparents, to help track down photos and stories.
