Living family tree

A living family tree — more than names and dates.

Most family trees are a wall of boxes: a name, two dates, a line to the next box. A living family tree is different. Every person on it has a page. Every page has room for who they actually were.

The difference between a normal family tree and a living family tree

A traditional family tree is a diagram — useful, but flat. A living family tree is that same structure, plus all the human detail your family carries: the stories, the photos, the small things nobody would find in a public record.

• Normal family tree: names, dates, straight lines.
• Living family tree: the same, plus stories, photos, memories, and contributions from every relative.

Every relative gets a page

Instead of a single box, each person has their own page — for their life, in your family's own words. Siblings, cousins, grandparents, in-laws, the ones who married in and the ones who moved away.

The whole family writes it together

Your uncle knows the story of the farm. Your mother knows the recipe. Your cousin has the wedding photos. A living family tree is designed for all of them to contribute, so the archive gets richer every year instead of thinner.

Private by design

Remembranch is invite-only. Your family tree isn't discoverable, isn't shared with a research database, isn't for sale. It belongs to your family. If privacy matters to you, that's the whole point of a private family archive.

Great for preserving grandparents' stories

A living tree is often where families finally preserve grandparents' stories — the ones that used to only exist in one head. Every memory added to a person's page becomes part of the archive forever.
