Inside the walkthrough

One question. A clearer picture.

  1. 01

    Start with your family

    Explore a family tree, choose a person, and turn a question in chat into a research brief with their known details.

  2. 02

    Follow the research

    See archive searches unfold, follow the research plan, and watch original records open in the archive browser.

  3. 03

    Read what was found

    Open a source, read the original page, and inspect the information behind a finding before adding it to a family story.

  4. 04

    Discover their world

    Explore a person’s timeline, food, music, and deeper historical context. Context about an era stays separate from documented personal facts.

Your family has a story, too.

Bring a name, a question, or a family tree. Start from what you know.
