Answers before you start

A private family archive for your family tree, photos, documents, memories and important family events.

Create an archive and add one relative, photo or memory. Everything else can be added later.

Enter an ancestor's surname on the home page and a short plan appears at once, without registration. The full research plan is free inside the service after registration: which documents of that era to look for (parish registers, confession lists, civil registry office (ZAGS) records, wartime documents), which archive of your region to contact, links to databases such as OBD Memorial with your surname filled in, and what to ask relatives. If the tree has places and years of life, the plan suggests the archives of those places. You find the documents yourself: we do not search archives for you.

Start with yourself, your parents and grandparents: add the people and mark who is whose parent, and the generations line up by themselves. Dates can be approximate. The tree is free with no limit on the number of people, and a finished tree from another service can be moved over as a GEDCOM file.

In the open databases Memory of the People (Pamyat Naroda) and OBD Memorial: casualty reports, award documents and unit records. If the tree shows a death in 1941-1945 or military service for a person, the free research plan (after registration) suggests these databases with links. You can also try the free Return the Name route, which needs no registration.

We do not search for people in databases. The research plan does tell you which documents and archives to look in for ancestors with that surname, and you can ask living relatives a question by link: they can answer without registering.

You and the people you gave access to: relatives you invited and gave a role, and people you sent a link to yourself.

Health records are stored encrypted (AES-256), passwords only as a hash that cannot be read back, and the connection to the site is protected. The health section is locked down more tightly than the rest of the family material. More in the Trust Center.
