Explore the private family portal
A look at the tools planned for family members: explore relationships, browse generations, read family stories, and organize historical research in one private workspace.
Private family access Coming soon. This is a concept preview, not a working sign-in portal.
All names, dates, relationships, and events in the demonstrations below are fictional. No private family-tree records are used on this page.

Future consideration
Private by design
The public site will remain a directory of carefully reviewed public sources. The private portal is a separate planned experience; its data must not be exposed by hiding elements in a public page.
- Living relatives and private notes stay out of the public site.
- Demonstrations use fictional sample data only.
- Private access requires a separately implemented and tested authentication and authorization system.
- Features remain labelled as planned until they are implemented and verified.
