About WEFAMI

The problem

The paper family book lives at the eldest son’s house and comes out once a year. The person who knows the most is usually the one least at home on a computer. Relatives who moved away meet at funerals, ask a few questions, and forget the answers.

Recording a whole lineage alone does not work: one person cannot know every branch, and the further from your own trunk you go, the vaguer it gets.

How WEFAMI works

Nobody has to record the whole family. Each person enters only what they know well — their household, their generation. When two people have entered the same ancestor, they merge those profiles and the branches become one tree.

The more people join, the fuller the tree, and nobody does more than their own share.

What we hold to

• The data belongs to your family, not to us.
• No advertising, no selling member information.
• People who have died are named correctly, with the right years.
• Whoever entered something keeps a say over it.

Who it is for

WEFAMI suits large lineages with many branches living far apart, and families who want their old photographs kept before they fade.
