Tamil Family Tree - Build Your Family History Online
Preserve relationships with accurate Tamil terms
Create a privacy-first Tamil family tree with correct relationships and names - not generic "uncle/aunt". Record generations, preserve oral history, and share access only with the people you trust.
Record Tamil family relationships with proper terms - periyappa, chithappa, athai, mama.
Why Tamil Family Trees Don't Fit into Generic Apps
Relationships are not generic
"Uncle" and "Aunt" is not how Tamil families think. Without precise terms, the tree becomes confusing and the value collapses.
Names vary across documents
Initials, father's name patterns, village references, and transliteration differences create mismatch. A usable tree must handle this reality.
Oral history gets lost
Elders carry the relationships and stories. If you don't record them, they disappear. A digital tree is a preservation tool, not just a diagram.
Photos and notes are scattered
WhatsApp threads, albums, notebooks. A family tree becomes useful only when data is consolidated and searchable.
