About Kinstory

Last updated September 2026

A private family tree that every branch of the family keeps together — each family holds its own tree, and the trees join where the families do.

How it works

You start with yourself and add the relatives you know. When a relative joins Kinstory, the two of you connect, and each of you can see the other's tree: the grandparents they recorded, the cousins you never had names for. What they know can be added to your tree in a tap, and yours to theirs.

Nobody's tree is merged into anybody else's. Your cards stay yours to correct; theirs stay theirs. Where both families have recorded the same person, the two cards are linked, and each side can see where the other differs.

Private by design

Only the people you have connected with can see your tree and your posts. There is no public profile, no advertising and no selling of data. You can export everything, or delete it, at any time. The details are in the Privacy notice.

If you are on somebody's tree and would rather not be

A relative may have recorded you — or your child — on their tree. If something about you is wrong, or you want it removed, the quickest way is to ask the relative who keeps that card. If that is not possible, write to us at the address below with your name, the relative's name and what you want changed, and we will take it up.

Start

Create your tree — it takes a minute, and it starts with you.
