About RootsLore

RootsLore is a private family-history platform. Most of us can only name our family two generations back — a grandparent, maybe a great-grandparent — and then the trail goes cold. RootsLore exists for the third generation and beyond: a place to record the people you remember and watch where they came from take shape on a map.

What it does

Add the people in your family, the dates and places that matter to their stories, and how they're connected. For someone who has passed away, you can also add a place where you remember them. RootsLore draws two things from what you record:

• A family tree that links each person to their parents, partners and children across the generations.
• A living, time-lapse map. Press play and watch your family's story unfold, decade by decade — births, migrations, homes and places of remembrance appearing on the map.

Built around privacy

Your family belongs to you. You can start building immediately without creating an account, and the tree you make is private to you until you choose to share a link with your family. We do not sell personal data, and a tree is only visible to the people you explicitly invite.

Where we’re going

Alongside private family trees, we are building a public library of historical genealogies — royal houses and notable lineages of Europe, Korea and beyond — presented through the same interactive tree and map, with original commentary on the journeys behind them.
