A gentle beginning.
Start with what you know. Dates and details can come when you’re ready.
Some stories start with a small thing.
A familiar name on the back of a photograph. A recipe in someone’s handwriting. A memory you don’t want to lose.
THE IDEA WE’RE GROWING
A welcoming home for the pieces of your family story.
Family history is made of people: the ones we remember, the ones we are curious about, and the connections we are still trying to understand.
We’re building My Joyful Tree to make a small beginning feel worthwhile. A place to connect a few names, keep a memory, and look thoughtfully at the words behind a family detail.
There is room for a beautiful tree and an unanswered question. There is room to start again tomorrow.
Room for uncertainty.
A source can offer a clue. Keep the wording and your conclusion distinct.
Your judgment matters.
Read a proposed change and decide what becomes part of the story.
