    Letters home, kept in a biscuit tin

    Sunday lunch in the garden

    The long table, the good cups, the year Rosa moved back home.

    Marie, his daughter wrote a memory: This was the last summer with the old apple tree. He carved the initials still on it.

    A voice recording, labelled by the family

    Fifteen minutes of him telling the story of the move, dated by the family.

The timeline ends at the most recent year. 3 faces here are still unnamed — the family adds them when they can.

You do the uploading. We do the organizing.

Reading a photo, guessing its decade, transcribing a letter, spotting a face across the years — the hard part is ours, not yours.

The heart of it

Dated and ordered, oldest first

Every item is placed in the right year, even when nothing was labelled. Uncertain dates are marked, never guessed.

Name a face

The same face is grouped across forty years. The family checks each name.

Read a letter

Handwritten letters are transcribed and made readable. Unsure lines say so.

Invite relatives

Most photos are on someone else’s phone. One invite link brings them in.

Search and share

Find a name or a year in a moment. Share the whole timeline with one link.
