    1. Re: [LDS-WC] Fold3 Question
    2. Snow, Donald R
    3. Nancy, the Memorial Pages on the Fold3 website are free for everyone at home or anywhere and you can set them up for anyone else you want for free. Several years ago Fold3 set up Memorial Pages for everyone in the US Social Security Death Index and you can put photos, images of documents, information, etc., on that page. Or you can set up a new Memorial Page and put them there. It's the other data on Fold3 that requires a subscription or going to a FHC to view. I don't think the Church is connected to Fold3, other than to have it available on the FHC Portal, like Ancestry. Incidentally, Ancestry bought Fold3 a few years ago and changed the name from Footnote to Fold3. The name Fold3 stands for the third fold on the American flag which the US gives to a vet's family when he or she dies. We've been posting pictures, documents, and information on Memorial Pages on Fold3 for several years and have put the links to them in Family Tree. That was long before we could post photos and stories on Family Tree itself and we still can't post images of documents on Family Tree. So Fold3 is one place to put images of documents and put links to them in Family Tree. Regarding putting an image in your Source Box, it sounds like you are talking about the image of a document and not a photo of the person because you wouldn't need your Source Box to post the photo of a person on Family Tree. If so, what about doing a screenshot of the document and posting that on a Fold3 Memorial Page and then putting a link to it in your Source Box to put in Family Tree? I guess the only question would be whether you have the right to post the image of the document since you don't own the document itself.
