Family history should feel human.

Open a life, then ask how two people are related. Kinship is calculated from the parent–child graph so a descendant a century from now still gets an honest answer.

The data is the heirloom.

Migrated from the original Hartle–MacKinnon–Philo Family Heritage HTML prototype. No new genealogical facts were invented during migration. On 2026-10-09 the evidence statuses were reviewed against outside sources: claims that could not be confirmed, or that conflicted with other sources, were moved out of "documented". Neil McKinnon's parentage was revised the same day from his gravestone and Find a Grave records. Mary A. Johnson and Mary Ann Swailes were added as the wives of Thomas Derry Sr. and Jr. from the 1884 and 1913 Gratiot County histories. On the same day Neil McKinnon's parentage was restored to Donald McKinnon and Christina McFarlane after the Tiree baptism register and a sibling's marriage record were found. Neil McKinnon's parentage was set back to Archibald McKinnon and Annie McLean after FamilySearch's tree was found to merge him with Rev. Neil McKinnon of Mosa.
