Every family has a story.
Find yours
Say what you remember. AncestorIQ does the searching instead of you: census records, manifests, parish registers. Every fact comes back with its source, for you to approve or reject.
Start where memory starts. Not with a form.
Say what you remember in any order. No empty fields, no dates you don't have yet. AncestorIQ builds the tree and keeps every detail you mentioned.
Give AncestorIQ a name, get back sourced records.
AncestorIQ searches census records, ship manifests and parish registers, including name variants and the next county over. You get what it found, where it looked, and a clear answer when the records don't support the claim.
The records say where and when. Ask AncestorIQ what it was like.
Ask what Naples was like the year your great-grandfather left, and get an answer drawn from the records on your tree and the history around them.
The grandkids won't read a chart. They'll watch a film.
Watch your great-grandfather's crossing become a short film of his village, his ship and his new city, built from the records you've gathered and ready to share.
You can check every fact on your tree.
01
Your data is yours
Export everything or erase it completely, on your terms, at any time.
02
Every fact has a source
Open the citation behind any detail and check the original record yourself.
03
Nothing changes without you
AncestorIQ only suggests; you decide what actually goes on the tree.
04
Conflicts stay visible
See disagreeing sources side by side, and leave it tentative until you're sure.
Build your tree from WhatsApp, with the whole family helping
Everyone builds it together
Add AncestorIQ to your family group chat. Everyone drops in memories and photos, and AncestorIQ merges them into one shared tree and flags conflicts.
Voice notes become history
Grandma sends a two-minute voice note. It's transcribed, the names, dates and places are linked to your tree, and the audio is kept as a source.
Just text to build your tree
Add relatives, dates and relationships by chatting. No app to install, just the messaging your family already uses every day.
