Connecting generations, one story at a time.
Two dates. A whole life in between.
LifeThread brings your ancestors’ stories to you, a few minutes at a time, on your schedule.
Margaret arrived in Ohio at nine with one trunk and a younger brother to look after. She taught in a one-room school for twenty-two years, and former students remembered the jar of peppermints she kept for anyone who could recite a poem. She wrote to each of her eleven grandchildren every Christmas until the year she died.
How it works
Three steps, a few minutes at a time.
- 1
Connect your family tree.
Sign in once. LifeThread reads the stories already attached to the people in your tree.
- 2
Choose ancestors and a rhythm.
Pick who you want to hear about and how often: daily, weekly, or monthly.
- 3
Read a little. Add what you know.
A short summary arrives. Then add a memory, a photo, or a source, and it goes back to the tree for everyone.
Why it matters
Enrich the life between the years.
- Stories get lost when no one reads them.
- Relatives who knew someone hold memories no record has.
- LifeThread turns reading into remembering, and remembering into something your family keeps.
Invite your family
Built to be shared across generations.
A grandparent, a parent, and a teenager can all get the same story on the same morning. Each one knows something different. LifeThread makes it easy for each of them to add it, so the story grows every time it is read.
