ADDING RECORDS FROM NEW FAMILYSEARCH Step 1: Authenticate with New FamilySearch After logging into your Family Photoloom account, click the “New FamilySearch | Sign In” button that appears at the top of the screen. New FamilySearch will open a new browser window, allowing you to authenticate with New FamilySearch. If this window does not appear, check your browser’s pop-up blocker settings. Enter your New FamilySearch Username and Password. Note that Family Photoloom only receives a temporary authentication for your account. We never see or store your New FamilySearch credentials. NOTE: For quick re-authentication later, you may want to let your browser remember your password for later. Your browser will then auto-fill these fields the next time you visit this page. This is not recommended for public computers, such as in a Library, but is very convenient for your own personal computer. By creating portraits you are identifying where people and things are within your picture collection. You can identify this person or object in other pictures by dragging the record onto other pictures. Step 2: Import information from New FamilySearch. Notice that a small Blue FamilySearch Tree icon appears next to the owner’s picture in the left side “Records” list. This indicates that a New FamilySearch ID has been associated with this record. Click on the Blue Tree icon to import the immediate family for this individual from New FamilySearch. The main view will change to the “Relationships View,” and you will see the individuals and relationships that were imported from New FamilySearch. To import additional family members, simply click on the Blue Tree button to import additional immediate family from New FamilySearch. LINKING PICTURES & PORTRAITS WITH NEW FAMILYSEARCH ID’S You can switch back and forth between the “Relationships” View and the “Pictures” view by clicking the tab in the upper right corner of the main view screen.  Once a record is created, it can be dragged onto a group picture to create a portrait. (See the screenshot above.)  You can create an unlimited number of portraits. To tag a face in a picture, click and drag the record over the face of the person in the picture. After a portrait is created, its location and size can be adjusted by clicking and dragging the portrait or its edges or corners.
