By |Published On: May 14, 2025|Views: 54|3.3 min read|

In India, with tight-knit families, a chat with your relatives might pique your interest in learning more about your lineage. The most efficient and easy starting point is to create a family tree to keep track of all the relations and branches of your family from both the paternal and maternal sides. However, creating and maintaining a family tree is often a task that few would want to undertake, even if they are interested, due to the sheer effort it may require. 

No longer! With Kintree, the process has been digitized and made extremely convenient. With just a few clicks, you can now build your family tree on your phone. The digital family tree makes it possible to preserve your heritage for future generations. Here are your steps to become the family tree maker: 

  • Find the Kintree app in your app store or Play Store, or sign in to the website at Kintree.com to set up your profile. 
  • Go to the family tree section and explore how it works. 
  • Add your mother and father to the family tree by clicking on the “Add Members” button in the upper right corner. 
  • Fill out the Add Member form by choosing your relationship with the member (e.g., father, mother, grandfather) from the drop-down menu. Enter all the information, including first and last names, age group, etc., and click Save. 
  • Share login details with the family members you have added, as you have created their profile. 
  • Continue adding more members to your family tree using the same process. Stay connected with the family via chats, sharing photos, videos, and planning events. Preserving Your Heritage 

Creating a family tree is just the beginning. Here are some additional techniques to preserve your heritage: 

  1. Document Family Stories: Record anecdotes and stories from older family members. These narratives provide a rich context to your family tree and keep the memories alive for future generations. 
  1. Preserve Photos: Digitize old family photos and upload them to your Kintree profile. This not only preserves the images but also makes them accessible to all family members. 
  1. Conduct Genealogical Research: Use online resources and archives to trace your ancestry further back. This can uncover fascinating details about your family’s past and add depth to your family tree.
