One shared family history
Kindred is a living family history that everyone can help build — not a folder of separate trees. Add what you know. If that person is already here, we ask you to connect instead of creating a copy. After review, your contribution becomes part of one shared record.

How it works
01
Create an account, then add the person who is you. That is your place in the shared history — it is not the same as your login.
02
Parents, children, partners, and other connections. You can attach a new person, or link two people who are already here.
03
Biography, career, education, places, sources, and a photo library — including memorial photographs for people you have lost.
04
Changes wait for review before they become canonical. Followers see what was approved. The audit trail stays with the person.
Why Kindred
When you add or correct a detail, it is reviewed before it becomes part of the shared record. If two relatives remember a date differently, we keep both accounts.
Kindred compares names, dates, places, and family members. If someone already looks like a match, we ask you to connect — we never merge people on our own.
Ask how you connect to anyone in your family. Kindred can tell you they are your aunt, your first cousin, or your great-grandfather — and show the path between you.
Each person can have a photo library. Use it for portraits, family gatherings, and memorial images. One photograph can be the face on the tree.
You are not limited to your own profile. Attach relatives to a parent, a partner, or anyone already in Kindred — including people who are already recorded.
Living records default to family-only visibility. Public pages are for history that families choose to share, not for exposing the living.
For families
Start with yourself, then add parents and children. Invite cousins to contribute what they know. When two branches mention the same ancestor, Kindred can show that the families already meet.
A person page can hold more than dates. Write a biography. Add the places they lived. Collect photographs so children and grandchildren can see who they came from.
Privacy
Kindred is a shared graph. That means your uncle is not “your record” to overwrite. You can propose what you know. Reviewers decide what becomes canonical, and the earlier account is not thrown away.
Living people are treated more carefully than the deceased. Family-only visibility is the default for the living. Restricted people stay hidden unless you have a reason to see them.
Matching never auto-merges. If two records might be the same person, a human still has to say so. That is slower than a silent merge, and that is the point.
Get started
Create an account, add yourself, then add a parent or a grandparent. The shared history starts with one true person.
