I found a secret half brother for my mother on this website. you can make a family tree without ever talking to any of your family members. i pay for the subscription cuz I love looking at the census records… deciphering that old script, perfect experience for an Ellis Island descendent who likes to use a laptop interface
tracing that family tree back as far as possible is exciting and insightful af.
I’ve spent a couple of hours looking over photos, reading stories, and crying over people that I will never meet but played a part in inventing me lol
