For every family

Your family has a shape. Ancestria can draw it.

In Lagos, a father has three wives and twenty children across two continents. In Ulaanbaatar, brothers share a wife according to a thousand-year tradition. In Paris, two dads adopted a child born through surrogacy. In Yaoundé, an entrusted child grows up in their maternal uncle's family. In Mumbai, an arranged marriage has united two lineages for centuries. Ancestria judges none of these families. It draws them. All of them. As they are. With one limit: respect for everyone's dignity.

Family context

Choose your culture. The app does the rest.

On first sign-in, the app adapts union types, terminology, and presets to your family context.

The app suggests

Europe / Classic West

Add a union — adapted options

  • Civil / religious marriage
  • Civil union / domestic partnership
  • Legitimate / adoptive filiation

Everything is customizable. Nothing is fixed, nothing is imposed.

Large families

Your tree can have 3 members or 500. It stays readable.

A clan of 500 members spread across four generations and three continents. A patriarch, his wives, their children, their children's children. Entrusted children, adopted children, customary unions that no standard form can capture. Ancestria groups them, organizes them, makes them readable — without erasing what makes each branch unique.

Every tradition deserves to be passed on.

Ancestria was born from a simple observation: existing genealogy tools were designed for a single family model. We chose to do things differently. We respect traditions, customs, and cultural heritage from around the world — whether from Africa, Asia, the Middle East, the Americas, or Europe. Every practice has a story. Every story deserves to be passed on without being translated, softened, or forced into another model. The only thing Ancestria refuses: when that transmission becomes a tool of constraint or erasure. Beyond that, if it exists in the world, Ancestria can represent it.

🌍 100+ cultures represented📜 Local terminology respected🤝 No judgment, no hierarchy🔒 Your data, your story
