A story to explore
Explore public trees.
Discover familiar names and the family connections behind them.
A place to begin
A few names become a family story.
01Connect your people
Add relatives and relationships yourself, or describe your family and let AI create an editable starting tree.
02Give the names a story
Add photos to your family album and preserve memories as stories. Keep the little details that make a person familiar.
03Build with your family
Invite relatives as viewers or editors. Review a branch together and add the connections each person remembers.
Start with what you know
Describe your family. Shape the tree together.
“Elena and Mateo have two children, Sofia and Daniel.” A short description can become a visual draft. Review every connection, correct the details, and keep adding as you learn.
AI helps organize the information you provide. Its draft needs your review and does not establish verified ancestry.
Learn how to write a family descriptionChoose who you bring into the story.
Keep a tree private, invite specific relatives, or create a link for others to view. Anyone with a share link can access the shared tree, so review its details before sending it.
Public publishing is an explicit choice and requires review. Stories have their own audience settings, including Only me and Related family.
