MyFamilyHistory
A documentary family history site for preserving direct lines, research notes, stories, places, and source files for the Baker, Bernegger, Simpson, and Daku families.
The direct-ancestor explorer begins with an anonymous public root person. Written profiles and source files remain hand-curated.
Tree-only ancestors can appear in the explorer. Only enriched profiles receive public landing pages.
Archive principle
Readable family history, with the evidence kept close.
The site is being organized like a family history book joined to a research file: biographies stay readable, source files stay findable, and uncertain links are marked as research rather than treated as settled fact.
