Purpose
Tracing ancestors as far back as possible has brought to many people great satisfaction and pleasure. - Alex Haley author Roots
A person's identity is defined as much by their kin network as by individual achievement, and the question "Who are you?" would be answered by a description of father, mother, and tribe. New Zealand Maori, for example, learn whakapapa (genealogies) in order to discover who they are.
This site facilitates the sharing of family stories, history and events to the wider family community. It's objective is to help families record and share their legacies.
This site is not intented to replace traditional sources of knowledge and wisdom. But in a fast, far reaching world, it is simply a mechanism that reaches out, especially to the newer generations, to help give them a sense of identity.
