Hey Green Starter Researcher,

You are brave to do this. It is a great way to share, but takes a lot of attention.

Ancestry.com adds say:
Member Trees
"The new Member Trees on Ancestry.com have features similar to family tree software programs available for personal computers—you can create family trees, upload GEDCOM files, and even attach photos to the people in your tree.

But unlike a family tree created on a personal computer, Member Trees are stored online, where you can easily share them with your family and find (or be found by) other family historians searching for the same people. Another benefit of online trees is that you can work on them any where you can connect to the Internet—the library, on vacation, or even when visiting family."

Then it says (in a bulleted list):
"Upload photographs of your ancestors to your Member Tree."

When you aron the PERSON Tab of the Organizational Tool, you click on the ADD PHOTO icon, or hyperlink. This should guide you. If you hear a noise when you click on that, you may have to temporarily enable pop-ups. If your Pop-up blocker stops the software pop-ups, you can press the CTRL key when you click on the ICON and that will Temporarily allow pop-ups.
