FAQ

Questions and answers

Can I share something now?

Not yet. Sharing opens soon. The Sharing page explains what you’ll be able to send and how to get ready.

What will happen to my photos?

They’ll go privately to the family historian and our family researcher, who check and file them. Nothing is shown on the site without approval.

Will my name appear?

Only the way you choose: by name, by initials, or not at all.

My family isn’t listed. Can I still take part?

Yes. When sharing opens, tell us your family name and how it connects. Once the connection is confirmed, your family gets its own line.

Can I send originals that are too fragile to scan?

Yes. Keep them safe for now; once sharing opens, we’ll work out the best way to copy them.

Can I take something back?

Yes, any time before the book is printed.

Will living relatives be named?

No. Living people are never shown; they appear only as “Living.”

Where are the stories?

Short sketches from the book are being written and checked now. They’ll appear on the family pages once approved.

When will the book be available?

It’s being written now. We’ll share news here when it’s ready.
