Your family is more than a family tree.

Build your tree. Preserve the stories behind the people you love. Create new memories together.

How we're different

More than a family tree.

Build your family tree, preserve what matters, bring your family into the story and keep creating memories together.

01

Build your family tree.

Add the people you know and let your family grow from there.

02

Preserve what matters.

Keep photographs, stories and memories connected to the people they belong to.

03

Build it together.

Invite relatives to contribute the memories, photographs and pieces of the story only they know.

04

Create what's next.

Plan family time and discover experiences worth turning into new memories.

Start simply

Every family story starts somewhere.
Start with you.

You don't need to know your whole family history. Add the people you know, invite relatives when you're ready, and let the story grow with the people who know it best.

01
Add the people you know.

Start with parents, siblings, a partner, children or the relatives already familiar to you.

02
Let family fill in the gaps.

Invite relatives to join, confirm their place and contribute the pieces only they remember.

03
Know more than names and dates.

Photographs, memories and stories help each generation understand the people behind the branches.

A family tree should help future generations know the people inside it, not only their names.

Memories & stories

Some memories deserve more than a day in a group chat.

Keep photos, short videos and stories with the people they belong to, so the memory keeps its meaning long after the conversation moves on.

Consent & privacy

Your family story is personal. You should have a say.

A relative may record that you exist and how you are related. That doesn't give them unlimited control over your digital identity.

Living relatives can be invited to claim their profile, review personal information and manage their privacy. Other families cannot simply edit your tree.

Every family has its own shape

Everyone who matters has a place.

Families are not all built the same way. FamilyStoryline makes room for biological, adopted, step and half relationships, co-parents, blended families and the people who helped raise us.

No one should feel like a footnote in their own family story.

Remember those who came before

Add the people who are no longer here. Their story still matters.

Adding deceased relatives helps preserve family history and keeps their place in the family clear for future generations.

Connect their photographs, memories, relationships and stories so younger family members can know more than a name and a date.

Don't only remember the good times. Create more.

Find places, activities and experiences to enjoy together, then turn today's experience into tomorrow's family memory.

Questions families ask

A few things you may want to know.

No. Your family tree is the starting point. FamilyStoryline also helps you preserve stories, photos and memories, invite relatives to contribute, remember loved ones and discover new experiences together.

You can record that the person exists and how they are related to you. Until they join, their profile is treated as unclaimed. You can invite them so they can confirm “This is me”, review their personal information and manage their privacy.

Consent matters, and so does their part of the story. Inviting them lets them claim their profile, manage personal information and privacy, and contribute memories and stories that only they may know.

Yes, and we encourage families to do so. Adding deceased relatives keeps their place in the tree and gives your family somewhere to preserve the photos, relationships, memories and stories connected to them.

They belong. FamilyStoryline is designed for real families, including biological, adopted, step and half relationships, co-parents and blended families. A co-parent can be part of a child's family story without being shown as a current partner.

No. Another family's tree does not automatically change yours. Possible connections can be reviewed and confirmed, but FamilyStoryline does not automatically merge family trees.

Not at all. Start with yourself and the people you know. Your family can help add the rest over time. FamilyStoryline is built to grow with your family, not turn family history into homework.

Yes. Businesses that help families spend quality time together can create listings so families can discover places, activities, services and experiences worth remembering.
Start small. Build together.

Your family story is already happening.

Start with yourself. Add the people you know. Preserve what matters. Let the story grow from there.
