We're early and still polishing. Thanks for your patience.
Bring your family and your curiosity. It does the rest.
Meet everyone
Every person you bring, from FamilySearch Family Tree or a family file, your parents and grandparents first, then further back. You see who is there and how far back each line goes.
Hear their stories
Who left home and where they went, who was born or died on this day, and each life told from start to finish.
See what's missing
Records FamilySearch suggests for your people, dates and places nobody filled in, lines that stop, and facts that don't add up.
Know where to go next
Someone to look into. A story to discover. Something to set right. Every fact includes its source, so you can see where it came from.
Who it's for
New to family history, or have you been at it for years? Either way, you don't have to figure it all out yourself. It searches, connects the dots, and helps you decide where to go next.
Use it here, or inside Claude and ChatGPT. Your family stays private, and you can download or delete it whenever you want.
Real families. Real discoveries.
Every card here was drawn from a family's published tree, the way it draws yours.
