Family history, carefully connected

Build your family's history. Discover where your story connects.

Lines keeps your family's people, photos, stories and documents in one private tree — and shows you, with the evidence, where it may meet another family's tree.

Create your treeHow connections work

Your tree is private. The family shown here is a fictional example.

Connect carefully

A possible connection is never a fact.

Other families build their own trees. When one shares signals with yours, Lines suggests a possible connection — and nothing is linked until people have reviewed it.

  1. Step 1 of 3 ·

    Possible

    Lines notices shared signals — a spelling variant of a name, the same birthplace — and shows how strong the suggestion is. Never as a percentage.

    Suggestion strength

    • Strong possible match
    • Moderate possible match
    • Weak possible match

  2. Step 2 of 3 ·

    Reviewed

    You compare both records side by side and read the evidence for and against.

    Confirmed

    Only when both owners confirm do the trees connect. Each family keeps its own tree, and living relatives stay private.

Start your family's tree.

Begin with yourself, then add your parents and grandparents. Photos, stories and documents can follow, and Lines suggests possible connections with other families' trees.
