How it works
See it working before you start.
Five short videos, recorded in the site with a demo family: one for each way to begin.
People
Start with one person. The tree grows from there.
Add a photo if you have one, and the name you call them by. Once your first person is in, we guide you through adding their relatives.
Memories
Write it down before it fades.
Almost everything in FamYarn has an Add a story button. Start with a person, place or special object/heirloom. Simply write your memories and other significant information and those stories will stay connected throughout the tree. Also, add any photos you may have.
Heirlooms
The things your family keeps, and why they matter.
Add a name and a photo if you have one, then write down what you remember. The things you have lost can have their stories, too.
Places
Places hold memories. Put them on the map.
Name a house, a street or a church. Link to a town or city, or provide an exact address and it will land in its precise spot on the map.
Interviews
Record their stories in their own voices.
Interview family from your browser, set up a recorded phone call, or email a link to a web chat they can answer at their own pace.
Built for families
No genealogy experience required.
Start with what you know. Skip any detail and come back to it later.
Invite family to add their own stories, wherever they live.
Your tree is private unless you invite someone.
