Coming soon
We're building a family tree into your NAR account. Start with yourself, add the people you come from, and connect the relatives who carry the rest. A living record of your family, kept where it won't be lost.
01
Start with yourself and add parents, grandparents, and siblings — names, birthdays, and the towns they came from. The details that go first are the ones this is built to hold: a great-grandmother's village, a maiden name, the year someone crossed.
02
Invite relatives to fill in their own branches — cousins across the country and across the ocean. The tree grows as your family joins it, and everyone works from the same record instead of five half-remembered versions. It builds on the household linking already on your account.
03
A family tree is never finished. Add a newborn, mark someone you've lost, correct a date. It stays a living document, not a chart that goes stale folded in a drawer.
04
Keep your tree to yourself, or open it to family and share it. Export it whenever you want. Same rule as everything on NAR: your data is yours, to keep or to delete, and we never sell it or hand it to anyone.
Why we're building it
Ask most families for the name of a great-grandparent's village and the answer is a guess. That's how fast a name, a town, a story goes quiet. A count records that a community exists. A family tree records who, exactly — the people behind the number. Both are the same instinct: keep the record before it's gone.
The family tree lives on your NAR account. Register now and it's ready the day it opens — and you're on the count while you wait.
In development. No launch date yet — we'll email registered members the day it's live.
