Every Family Has a Story Worth Keeping.
Build a living family tree or a yearly photo book — free to start, at your own pace. When you're ready, we help you print and share it.
Two ways to begin now
Family Tree
Build a beautiful illustrated tree — restored portraits, historical context, and living animated portraits. Free for your first two generations.
Yearly Book
Capture this year as it happens — upload photos, notes and milestones all year, then order a beautifully bound keepsake when you're ready.
How It Works
Share
Tell us who you know — names, dates, photos, whatever you have. No card, no pressure.
Research & verify
We trace the generations behind them, sourcing every claim or honestly tagging it unverified.
Printed + Living Portraits by QR
Get a museum-quality print of your tree, and scan the QR beside it to watch restored ancestors move and speak.

What We Promise You
Roots We Planted is newly launched, so we don't have customer testimonials to show you yet. Here is what we commit to instead — and you can judge the craft for yourself in our samples.
Your story stays yours
You own every memory, document, and finished piece you create. Export or delete your archive at any time.
Heirloom-grade craft
Print-quality books, portraits, and fine-art prints, reviewed before delivery — see the samples before you commit.
Nothing invented
We build only from what your family gives us. We never fabricate people, dates, or events to fill a gap.
Your Memories Are Safe With Us.
We use secure cloud storage, encrypted processing, and strict privacy controls. Your family's history belongs to you — and only you.
