Yes, your family information would be of interest to many Footnote users. The best way to put the story on the site would be to create a Story Page.

If you have images that relate to the people and places in your story page, you can upload them to your gallery and then include them in the related entries.

If you haven’t viewed story pages before, you can see many examples at this address… http://www.footnote.com/storypages/

I have story/info on my family tree back to 1580 in England . First ancestor arrived in James town VA in 1637.
Would you be interrested in this type info?

Info not repeated. I hit submit button twice.

Just upload your photo(s)/ files to your gallery(ies) on Footnote. Once uploaded, double click on the photo or graphic you want to annotate and then click on the annotation button above it.

Choose the type of annotation that fits … person, date, place or text.

Drag the corners of the annotation box around the subject of your annotation and save it after your typing is complete.

Next, double click on the same image and then on the Spotlight button above the image. Write a title and a description of the image and save it. It is best to write a descriptive title so others will have interest in your spotlight.

That’s all there is to it.
