Introduction 

Understanding our ancestry provides a profound sense of identity and belonging. It connects us to a larger narrative, grounding us in where we came from. Kintree is designed to make exploring, recording, and sharing this precious family tree heritage straightforward and meaningful.  

Why Document Your Family History?

Our ancestors’ experiences, their migrations, occupations, triumphs, and challenges shape our family’s unique story. Preserving this information safeguards it from being lost in time. A well-researched family tree offers more than names and dates; it reveals patterns, uncovers shared traits, and fosters a deeper appreciation for your ancestry. It’s a gift to future generations, providing them with roots and context. Kintree helps you build this legacy accurately and accessibly.

Building Your Family Tree, Branch by Branch  

Starting your family tree on Kintree is simple. Begin with yourself, your parents, and your grandparents. The platform’s clean interface allows you to easily add names, birthdates, marriage details, locations, and occupations.

Connecting with Ancestors and Living Relatives  

Documenting your family tree fosters a unique connection to your ancestors. Understanding their lives, the eras they lived through, and the challenges they faced adds depth to your sense of self. Kintree helps make these historical figures feel more tangible. Furthermore, the platform excels in connecting you with living relatives. Researching ancestry is often a collaborative effort. Kintree allows you to securely invite parents, siblings, cousins, aunts, and uncles to view and contribute to the shared family tree. This collaborative approach pools knowledge, uncovers forgotten stories, and strengthens bonds across the current family network.
