what is this?

a little map of the people who make you, you.

A family tree maker, with room to make it yours.

The Family Tree Project is a quiet, visual workspace for mapping your family and chosen family. Start with a blank family tree template, add the people you know, and draw their connections. Add photos, family titles, birthdays, and the little details that make each person more than a name.

Make your family tree at your own pace.

Move around an open canvas, bring a branch into focus, or tuck it away for later. Your tree is private by default. Invited family members can claim and edit their own profiles; personal notes stay private to the account that wrote them.

A place to map, rather than a search for relatives.

This project does not search historical records, trace ancestry, verify family relationships, or promise to find relatives. The people, stories, and connections come from you and your family.
