Coming soon - the first family stories are being written. They will appear here.
What has changed
Records as of 2026-09-19: 1691 people on the site.
- 2026-09-19 The charts are more compact: where a line ends early, the lines beside it now use the room above it instead of leaving it empty, so more of the family fits in view at once.
- 2026-09-19 Pages can now carry a life story - twelve have one to begin with, drawn from the sketches already in the family record - and tags such as Military service, Immigrant, Farmer or Twin, set from the records themselves. A new page lists everyone by tag.
- 2026-09-19 A person's page now has one chart instead of two: their ancestors rise above them and their descendants spread below, meeting at their own dot, and the person the chart is about is outlined so they stand out even when nobody has selected them. The family tree's buttons now follow as you scroll, as the chart's already did.
- 2026-09-19 Fifteen more life stories, twenty-seven in all, written from the records and findings rather than from the old sketches - among them Waterman Curtis, killed by a falling tree in 1859, and Antoine Emery dit Coderre of Contrecoeur, who could not sign his name. Every story now says plainly how the person stands to one of the four grandparents.
- 2026-09-17 Every chart now sits beside a family tree of the ordinary kind - parents and grandparents above, brothers and sisters alongside, husbands, wives and children below - and choosing a name moves both the tree and the chart to that person. On a phone held upright the chart now runs down the screen instead of across it, and a tap holds a person's details open.
- 2026-09-13 The site opened: a page for every person and every couple, charts of ancestors and descendants laid out in time, everyone by surname as a compact list with a letter row to jump by, and a search. Relatives who may still be living appear as "Living", with no details, so a family's line no longer stops short. A tick-box under any chart adds the flag of the country each person was born in, as that country was at the time - New France, New Spain, Prussia and so on.
