Prepare their archive
Keep each client family’s people, originals and citations together.
For genealogists
Give your research a family home.
Our Story brings people, original records, source details and family memories into a private archive. Help relatives understand your research, or prepare a client archive they can take ownership of and keep adding to.
Researching your own family? Bring your existing family tree or start a Family archive. A Professional plan is for separate client archives and eligible ownership handoffs.
02
Make the research readable
Connect the evidence to people, explain uncertainty and add context.
03
Hand over a living story
The client accepts ownership and invites family to keep adding memories.
Show the family where to begin.
Start with a person they recognize, a photograph and one original record. Explain the record’s source and what remains uncertain. The fictional Rossi archive shows how a family can explore people and the material kept with them.
Can I bring research from another genealogy app?
Yes, through a supported GEDCOM import. Bring a small branch, check the file locally and review the imported people and relationships. Our Story does not import every GEDCOM field.
Media files and structured source citations need separate attention. Keep your original export, add source documents and details to the archive, and review any retained notes.
Check a GEDCOM and see import coverage →From delivered research to a living family archive
Keep each family in its own vault. Connect documents and citations to people, add photographs and recorded memories, and let the family explore the relationships and context. Clients can keep using their archive after the research engagement ends.
Our Story is an archive and collaboration app. It does not search historical record databases, perform DNA matching or certify a genealogical conclusion.
Explore the fictional family archive →Keep the evidence understandable
Preserve the original document, its repository and reference, and an explanation of what it says. Give recollections their own place in Memories. Keep uncertainty visible when two sources differ.
Source-review, research briefs, issue tracking and client review packets are available in selected pilots. Confirm availability for your account before promising them as part of a client deliverable.

An eligible Professional owner can send a private handoff to a specific client email. The client signs in, reviews the offer and accepts ownership. Pending handoffs can be canceled; the status remains visible after the link has been sent.
The owner export includes readable offline pages, original files, structured archive data and a GEDCOM tree file. Review the ZIP before sharing: it includes restricted material.

What does Professional include?
The Professional plan is $249/year for up to 10 active client vaults. Storage, AI-action and handoff allowances are shared or limited as described on the pricing page.
Eligible accepted handoffs include one complimentary, nonrenewing Family year, subject to the plan’s grant limits. An invitation does not mean the client has accepted, and a handoff does not start an automatic Family renewal.
