How It Works

Create your family tree step by step — without complex genealogy software.

1

Start Your Family Tree

Begin with an empty tree or import existing data using a GEDCOM file. You decide how much information to add from the start.

2

Add Family Details

Add family members with names, dates, photos, and personal notes. Build your family history gradually, at your own pace.

3

Revisit and Maintain Over Time

Return to your family tree anytime to review, update, or export your data. Your family history remains accessible and under your control.

The Problem We Solve

Most family history gets lost. We help you preserve it permanently.

The Problem

Family history is often scattered across notebooks, spreadsheets, and folders. At the same time, many digital family tree tools make personal information public by default. Over time, important details are either lost — or shared more widely than intended.
