Roots Vault is a private, beautifully simple way to map your family — every marriage, every branch, every name worth remembering — and pass it down.
Blended families, second marriages, half-siblings, the relative nobody talks about — real families aren't a straight line, and your tree shouldn't have to pretend they are.
Divorces, remarriages, and multiple partners are handled automatically — your tree lays itself out clearly, no matter how complicated the story.
No public database, no strangers browsing your family. Your tree is visible only to the people you choose to invite.
Invite parents, siblings, or grandchildren to add their own memories, photos, and branches — one living record, built together.
Turn your tree into a print-ready keepsake anytime — a document that outlasts any single app or account.
Discover and safely connect with relatives who share your ancestors — and message them, right inside your tree.
No manuals, no genealogy jargon. If you can send a text message, you can build your family tree in minutes.
A name on a headstone. A story half-remembered at a holiday dinner. A face in a photograph nobody can place anymore. That's what gets lost — not all at once, but one un-asked question at a time.
Roots Vault exists so that doesn't have to happen to your family. Build it once, add to it for years, and hand it down complete — to your children, and to theirs.
"I finally know my grandmother's whole story — not just the parts she told me, but the ones my cousins remembered too."— an early Roots Vault family
