Why families start a tree

Know where you come from. Know who you belong to.

01

Children know their roots

Kids see who their great-grandparents were and how every cousin is related.

AKCity HIAbroad SAHome town 02

Relatives find each other

Family near and far, all in one place and easy to search.

03

Elders’ memories, kept

Names, places and photos only grandparents remember, saved for the next generation.

Everything included

Simple for grandparents. Careful with your privacy.

A tree that grows with your family

Parents, spouses and children with photos, places and dates. Tap anyone to open their branch.

Simple logins, made for you

The admin, a manager or a volunteer creates each login. Relatives sign in with their username and password and stay signed in. Just looking? A family PIN is enough.

Managers and volunteers

Managers help the admin approve. A cousin volunteer adds and edits only their own side of the family.

Checked by the family

The admin, or a trusted manager, checks each new person before others see it.

Private to your family

Your own address and database. Phone numbers hidden from viewers, and relatives can ask to join.

Family map

See where everyone lives, near or far, and tap a place to see who is there.

Alerts and visitor stats

One bell for new people, changes and join requests, and live stats on who visits and from where.

Notice board and phone notifications

The admin posts an announcement for everyone, for the helpers, or for one branch. Relatives react and comment, and get a message on their phone, even when the app is closed.

For the people who look after the tree

A tree for the family. A dashboard for the admin and managers.

When the family grows to hundreds of people, the admin and managers get one place to keep everything in order.

  • Everything waiting, in one placeApprovals, removal requests and join requests, each with one-tap buttons.
  • Every person as a listSearch, filter by generation or branch, find who has no photo or birth year, and download Excel.
  • Accounts made simpleManagers, volunteers and members, who never signed in, and one-tap login messages on WhatsApp.
  • Announcements for every phonePost a notice, pin it, and send it to everyone, to the helpers, or to one branch. It can also go out on WhatsApp in one tap.
  • Visitors and settingsLive visitor stats, the family PIN, map access and backups.

Questions

Ask us anything. We’re family people too.

Can other families see our tree?

No. Your family has its own address and its own separate database. Logins from one family don’t work on another.

Is it easy for elders to use?

Yes. The admin, a manager or a volunteer creates their login, and they stay signed in on their phone. Forgot the password? The admin or a manager resets it in one tap.

Who decides what’s correct?

Your family admin, helped by trusted managers. Volunteers and members can add or suggest, and the admin or a manager checks before others see it.

Can someone help the admin?

Yes. The admin can make trusted relatives managers. Managers approve changes, verify people, handle join requests and create logins. Only the admin can delete people or change settings, so a manager asks the admin to remove someone.

Can relatives join by themselves?

Yes. On the sign-in page they tap Ask to join and send their name and WhatsApp number. The admin or a manager sees it in the dashboard and creates their login. Relatives who only want to look can use the family PIN.

Can the admin send announcements?

Yes. The admin or a manager posts a notice on the notice board for everyone, for the helpers, or for one branch of the family. Relatives can react and comment, and a notice can be pinned to the top. Each notice can also be sent on WhatsApp in one tap.

Will relatives get notifications on their phones?

Yes, if they choose to turn them on in their profile. On Android it works in Chrome. On an iPhone, first add the app to the Home Screen, then open it from there and turn notifications on. Each person can switch them off at any time.

Can BigFamily see our family tree?

Only if you ask us for help. Then we can open a read-only view of your tree: names, relationships, dates and photos, but never phone numbers, logins or passwords. You see “BigFamily Support” online while it is open, you get a notification and a log entry with the reason, and you can end it at any time.

How many photos can we add?

Up to 5 photos per person, plus the profile picture. Photos are made smaller automatically before they are saved, so they load quickly on any phone.

What if we don’t renew?

We remind you before the end date. If it isn’t renewed, the tree is paused: nobody can open it, but everything is kept safe, and it opens again the moment you renew. While it’s active, the admin can download all the data at any time.
