You have a GEDCOM

Here is exactly what happens to your family tree.

Bring your Ancestry, FamilySearch, or Gramps export. Your tree becomes the backbone of a sourced archive, your paper research connects to the people it is about, and when you are ready it compiles into a family history book your family keeps. You can take it all out any time.

1. 1

   Bring your GEDCOM.

   Export it from Ancestry, FamilySearch, or Gramps and bring it in. Your tree becomes the backbone of your archive: every person and every relationship, structured the way you built it.

2. 2

   Connect your paper research.

   Add the letters, photographs, certificates, and clippings you have gathered. Each one connects to the people it is about, so the documents and the tree finally live in one place.

3. 3

   Every fact stays sourced.

   Open any name, date, or place and see exactly where it came from. When two records disagree, you see both with their sources, never a silent overwrite. The work stays trustworthy.

4. 4

   Compile the book, when you are ready.

   From the understood archive we help you compile a readable family history, in a warm voice, with the photographs in their place. You decide what goes in; nothing is published without you.

5. 5

   It stays yours.

   Export your whole archive any time, in open, documented formats: your stories as Markdown and HTML, and your people, relationships, and metadata as JSON, with your photos, in one download. No lock-in, ever.
