Grow your tree
Start with yourself and branch outward, one relative at a time. The shape of your family appears as you remember it.
Ancestry, for everyone
Every family is a story worth keeping.
Build your family tree, gather the photos and the stories behind each name, and hand it all to the people who come next — in one calm, private place.
In early development — join the first families in.
The idea
A record can tell you when someone lived. Only a family can tell you who they were.
Names fade with the people who remember them. family.bio is a home for the parts that paper never keeps — the nickname, the recipe, the voice on a birthday call — kept beside the tree so a name stays a person. Start it now, and it becomes something your grandchildren will be glad you did.
What it does
Everything your family knows, finally in one place.
Keep the stories
Attach photos, letters, and voice notes to any name. The small details a record never holds are the ones you'll want most.
See the connections
Trace how you're related across generations, and surface the quiet threads that tie distant relatives back together.
Pass it on
Your tree outlives any single phone or laptop. It's built to be handed down — the way stories always have been.
How it works
Four small steps. Then it keeps growing on its own.
Start with you
Add your name and a face. That first node is the root everything grows from.
Add who you remember
Parents, siblings, the aunt everyone has a story about. No documents required.
Weave in memories
Drop in photos and stories as they come to you. Nothing has to be finished at once.
Invite your family
Others fill the gaps only they can. The tree fills in from every side.
For everyone
You don't need a paper trail to begin.
Not every family has archives, certificates, or a known hometown — and that has never made a family less worth keeping. family.bio starts from what you carry with you: the names, the faces, the things you were told. Memory is a valid record here.
- Private by default. Nothing is public unless you choose it, and your family is never for sale.
- You hold the keys. Decide who can see, add, or edit — down to a single branch.
- Yours to take. Export your whole tree, photos and all, whenever you like.
