FamilyLore

How it works

As easy as having a conversation.

No biographies to write. No archives to organise. No genealogy software to learn.

  1. 1

    Create your family archive

    Give it a name — The Harrison Family — add your surname, where your family came from and a short introduction.

  2. 2

    Invite the people who hold the stories

    Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings and children. Each person gets their own private login, and nobody needs to learn complicated software.

  3. 3

    Let FamilyLore do the interviewing

    Choose a person and a topic — childhood, school, work, love, traditions — and FamilyLore asks the questions, one at a time, in plain language.

  4. 4

    Talk, and it's kept

    Recordings are transcribed and organised into stories, with the original voice preserved beside every word.

  5. 5

    Add the photographs

    Upload old photos and FamilyLore asks who's in them, where it was and what happened that day.

  6. 6

    Explore it together

    A timeline, a family tree, recipes, places and books built from what your family actually said.

Because one day, someone will wish they'd asked.
