Today I am sharing my favorite app to find family stories on FamilySearch.org called All the Stories. It isn't an app you download on your phone, but a web app. It pulls all your ancestors' stories from your family tree into one place to easily read them. I learned so much about my ancestors from using this app! I always told people I didn't have pioneer ancestors until I read several stories from their diaries on All the Stories. Beware--once you use this app you'll want to keep reading stories. Make sure you have a lot of time to read them all!
Okay, here we go. Head to FamilySearch.org and sign in. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and click on App Gallery.
In the search bar at the top, type All the Stories. Click on it when it shows up!
Next, click Get Started and then Login. Sign back into FamilySearch with your account info and then click Let's go. The app will scan your tree for stories and pull them to the left side of the page. This takes a while but you can read stories while it scans.
Have fun reading stories about your ancestors! Don't forget to add your own stories and memories to your ancestor's pages so that there will be even more to read, and so that others can read about them as well. Come back here to let me know what you find!
