Bring your family's genealogy to PFamily
The record keeper builds the tree once; from then on every member whose email is in the tree can read it on their phone.

Open your family
Contact us with your family name, home village and the person in charge. We create the family and send you a family code and an admin password.
The admin password is shared by your family's admin team and has at least 8 characters. Change it right after your first sign-in.

Build the tree on the admin site
Open the admin site on a computer and sign in with the family code and admin password.
- Already have a tree in other software? Export a GEDCOM file and import it.
- Starting from scratch: add the founding ancestor, press Tab to add children, drag and drop to arrange.
- Several people transcribing? Each builds a separate branch, then drag the branches into the tree.
- Add profiles, lunar memorial days, grave locations, photos and Han-Nom documents over time.

Invite members
Add an email address to each person's profile in the tree. People who are not in the tree (in-laws, close relatives) can be granted access under App access.
Admins never set passwords for anyone: each person signs up with their own email and a verification code sent to it.

Members install the app and sign in
Install PFamily, choose Sign up, enter the email that is in the tree, enter the code sent to that email and set a password. The app finds your family on its own; if you belong to several families, pick one and switch at any time.

Keep it alive together
Turn on the forum, post news, open a family fund. Members send corrections and photos — admins review them first, so the tree stays accurate.
