You don't need much to start.
A grandparent's first name, an ancestral village, or a ship's name is enough. Names can be spelt roughly — the search handles variants. Every step forward earns you a new clue.
Every record you save, ancestor you pin, and person you add to your tree stays private to your account. Sharing with a specific relative or contributing to the community pool is always a separate, explicit step — and revocable. How we protect our data · Video demo
One place to record names, places and evidence — then share with family.
