Our Family Tree
Sign in

One family, seven homelands, a century and a half of stories.

The private home of our whole family: the Siegel, Friedman, Elting, and Lass lines, and everyone who married in and made the story bigger. 190 relatives and counting, every fact traced to a source, every journey drawn on a map. Sign in with your family email to walk the tree.

One

The whole family on one sheet.

Every generation on a single page, from the tailors of Bialystok to the newest babies, married-ins and cousins and all. Click anyone to read their story; center the view on yourself and see exactly where you fit.

Two

Follow the journeys.

Every immigrant ancestor's crossing is drawn from the old country to the new, and the Story page turns whoever you choose into chapters: where their line began, the crossing, the places of their life. Every relative gets their own atlas.

Three

Add what only you know.

Photos, stories, memorabilia, corrections: everyone in the family can contribute, whether you were born into it or married into it. Every addition carries its contributor's name, and nothing can ever be accidentally erased. The tree grows because you feed it.

Four

Private by design.

No public access, no search engines, no strangers. The door opens by family invitation only, with your email or your Google account, and facts about living relatives are visible to family alone.
