Enough for many families to get started.
- You create your family tree — up to 40 people. Enough for many cases to get started.
- Invite as many relatives as you like. They help for free.
A private family archive
The story of who you come from.
Kindred is a quiet place to keep names, places, and papers — then invite the family in with a code. Every addition is signed, so you always know who wrote it.
Add people, simply
A name is enough. Attach a mother, a father, a wife, a husband, a son or a daughter. Born, died, married, lived — whenever you know.
Invite with a code
No sprawling accounts maze. Share six letters. Relatives add what they remember.
A signed history
Every name and paper is marked with who added it. You can always change a record, or take it out.
For people who care about history
Names, places, and the papers that prove them.
Birth and death certificates, a letter from the war, a passenger list. Kindred is not a research factory. It is a family book you can actually hand to a cousin.
Your own trees stay private. Public families are an open archive.
Cloth, paper, and a family name
A book you can hold.
Kindred typesets the tree you already keep — marriages as a double line, children hanging from the stem — and prints it as a linen hardcover, near the people who will hold it.
Origin
Cream linen, a forest-green oak, the weave you can feel.
Pricing
Begin free. Stay as the family grows.
Most families only need one tree. Start it today — invite everyone who remembers a name. Pay later if the archive outgrows the kitchen table.
