A workspace for family history research

Your family history.
Organized, documented, and preserved.

MyArboris helps you research your family history, document sources and evidence properly, and organize everything so it lasts for the generations after you.

So family knowledge isn't lost

Names, dates and stories are often scattered — in church registers, shoeboxes, old letters and the memories of older relatives. MyArboris helps you bring that knowledge together, record every fact with its source and organize it so the next generation can still make sense of it.

Four core ideas

  1. Research

    Record people, events and places — by hand, or by importing a GEDCOM file from another program.

  2. Document

    Every fact can carry its evidence: the source, the exact citation and the document itself.

  3. Organize

    Tree, people, sources and map work together. MyArboris points out open research gaps on its own.

  4. Preserve

    Your data stays private and can be exported at any time — so the knowledge is never tied to one program.

Everything in one place

More than names and dates

Family history research means being able to back up every claim. MyArboris models the hierarchy research actually needs.

  1. 1. Source

    The register, book, or archive item itself — a church register, a civil register, or a publication.

  2. 2. Citation

    The exact location within the source — page, folio, entry number, or record.

  3. 3. Evidence

    The scan, photo, or PDF that actually shows the citation.

Planned

From research to a family book

We are working towards turning the people, life stories, photos and sources in MyArboris into a carefully designed family book — to print, to give and to pass on.

This feature does not exist yet. Everything you record and document properly today is already the foundation for it.
