Organise deceased people, generic living roles, relationships, and sourced events or memories.
Choose a person or a generic role#
Open Family History in your personal workspace. Add a deceased person by name or choose a generic role for a living person. Keep identifying details of living people out of the record.
The record is for the workspace owner. The labels represent your own records. Family relationships do not grant other accounts access.
Record a relationship, event or memory#
Choose an active person already in your private record and select the relationship direction. The relationship appears on the record where you add it.
Add events or memories to a deceased person. Record an exact date if known, add context, and keep a source or document reference. A reference points to your own evidence. Keep original documents in your secure storage.
Correct an entry or archive a person#
Correct an entry to mark its original as incorrect, duplicate or uncertain. Add a replacement if you have better information. Archive a person to keep their record out of the active list, then restore when needed.
Removing an archived person deletes that record and its entries. It also removes relationships to that person from other records.
Keep the active workspace, actual business requirements and current setup summary in view. A guide explains a choice; it does not make that choice for you.
