Facts are only available for person Memorials. Important details for the person can be entered on the Facts tab, including vital information such as birth, death, and military details. Adding facts with specific names, places, and dates makes finding your Memorial easier for others.

Click on the Facts tab at the top of the Memorial to view and manage facts. You must have a Fold3 account and be signed in to add or edit Facts. If a Memorial is marked as Private, only the owner can add or edit the Facts for that Memorial.

Adding Personal Information

Click on the Facts tab at the top of the Memorial
Click on the Add button. (If you don’t see the Add button, you may not be signed in, or the page has been made private by the owner.)
Select Add Life Fact from the drop down

From here you can select the type fact you want to add, then enter the value of the fact, such as a place of residence or a death date.

You can also add Custom facts, which allow you to give your own name to the fact as well as providing a value. For example, if you want to add a fact for Christening Date, you would select Custom Date from the drop down, enter Christening Date as the Fact Name, then enter the date of the christening in the Custom Date field.

Adding a Military Event

Click on the Facts tab at the top of the Memorial
Click on the Add button. (If you don’t see the Addbutton, you may not be signed in, or the page has been made private by the owner.)
Select Add Military Event from the drop down

To create your Military Event, select a country from the Served For drop-down, and so on. Once you save the military event, your page will be transformed into an Honor Page, with a conflict-specific background image and other icons that pertain to that period

A Military Event is most often associated with a conflict (like World War II, for example), and can contain multiple militarily related facts.

Adding, Editing, and Deleting Facts

Once you have added Personal Information and/or a Military Event, you can add additional facts of the same type by clicking on the + symbol at the right of the fact. For example, if you created a Custom Fact, you can add another Custom Fact using this + icon. If you added a Military Fact, clicking the + symbol will allow you to add another Military Fact for that conflict. If you want to add a fact that doesn’t match the type you’ve already added, you will need to follow the steps listed above.

You can also edit and delete individual facts by clicking on the fact to expand it, then clicking on the appropriate icon to the right.
