Bloodline › How it works

How Bloodline helps families preserve their stories

From one name to a shared family legacy.

No genealogy expertise required. Here’s the whole journey, honestly described.

Start with what you know

One name is enough to begin. You don’t need dates, records, or a completed pedigree — just someone you love.

Add people and memories at your own pace

Add parents, siblings, partners, and children as you think of them. Attach a photo, a memory, or a life detail whenever you have one — nothing has to be finished today.

Invite the relatives who should be part of it

Send an invitation by email. Choose what each person can do — view, contribute, edit, or help administer — so the archive grows safely as more people join in.

Keep the archive understandable as it grows

A Family Perimeter keeps your own view focused on the relatives closest to you, even in a tree with hundreds of people. Switch between an immersive tree, a traditional chart, or a simple list — whichever reads clearest to you.

What Bloodline does — and doesn’t

An honest boundary

It preserves and organises the family history your family already knows and records — people, relationships, photos, documents, memories, and a life timeline.
It gives you a private, invitation-only place to build that history together, with roles that control who can see and change what.
It does not automatically prove historical facts, verify records, or research your ancestry for you — what goes into the tree is what your family adds.
It does not expose a public tree or searchable profiles. Nothing your family builds becomes public by using Bloodline.
