Private family area
Your own private family thread
Every family gets its own private, signed-in space for its interactive tree, photos, documents and booklets.
- Each family sees only its own family thread. Families are kept completely separate.
- Living relatives are shown only to that family’s own logins, and only as names, relationships, birth year and photos. Never full birth dates, addresses, contact, health or religion details. Anyone can ask to be hidden.
- No passwords to remember: sign in with a one-time code sent to your email.
