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.
This first public slice is intentionally small. It proves the shape of the archive before the RootsMagic GEDCOM import is connected.
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.
Direct ancestor explorer
A small proof-of-structure Simpson line
This first slice uses hand-written sample entries. GEDCOM imports can later feed the same tree and card structure without making every person a public profile.
