WeGather for Photos and Stories
So this little puppy came in the mail today!
I was super excited to win the WeGather raffle at RootsTech. I feel like I never win, and I honestly didn't know I entered to win, so winning was a complete surprise. But--I do not write simply because I won. I have to report on WeGather because it's awesome, and I love the developer!
So I met Rachel at her booth at RootsTech, but I had been following her site for months before that. I absolutely love her, I love her passion, her drive, her mission, and all that her site stands for. We share our passion for photos and stories and she's got some amazing resources. I've learned some great tips and tricks from following her. She has great insight into photos and stories and how they can impact who we are and who we can become. She has guest posted some great articles for FamilySearch's blog and other great sites. One of my favorite reads was her guide to metadata. Here's a few of my favs:
I absolutely recommend checking out and subscribing to her site if you're interested:

Also check out her latest tool, featured at RootsTech, WeGather. I've already used it for a few photos that I didn't know who was in them. I posted it to WeGather, shared the link with family via FaceBook and watched as the memories, and information flooded in about the photos. It was THAT easy! A great resources for those of us who have inherited old photos, and have no idea who's in them. Check it out:

Best of all it's all free, so you can't go wrong! Thanks Rachel for sharing your wealth of knowledge with the rest of us!
Happy photo preservation.
Stories are the currency of our past, present and future. Without them, we are bankrupt. Since family photos trigger those stories, we should save and share them.
