Real families, real stories
From grandparents preserving their voices to parents building a home for a blended family — here's what family history feels like on Heritorie.
I recorded my grandmother telling the story of how she left Lagos, in her own voice. My kids will hear her long after she's gone.
Our family is blended — step-parents, half-siblings, an adopted little one. For once a tree treated all of them as fully, equally ours.
Cousins across three countries all add photos and names to the same tree. It finally feels like one family, not scattered branches.
My father wrote down almost nothing. Piecing the generations together with my aunts turned into the most meaningful project we've shared.
As an adoptive dad, I worried our story wouldn't 'fit'. Here, chosen family is first-class. My daughter's page looks just like everyone else's.
We printed a wall chart for our reunion and elders who'd never touched an app were adding memories by the end of the weekend.
