Quick answers.

Read all questions →

Do I need a FamilySearch account?

No. You can start by uploading a GEDCOM file from any family tree program or website. Connecting FamilySearch is planned and marked coming soon. It will always be optional.

How does sign-in work?

Enter your email address and we send you a link. Click it and you are signed in. The link works once and expires after 15 minutes. There are no passwords to remember or lose.

Can my children use Kinderhof?

Yes. Parents and guardians can add child profiles to the family. A child profile has no email address and no login. It is managed by an adult in the family. The games, when they arrive, will have levels for different ages.

Bring everyone together. Start with your family.

Create your account, invite your family and be ready for your first calendar when tree upload arrives.
