Connect extended family. Learn about relatives. Capture memories.
Bring everyone together. Collect updates and memories from relatives into a collaborative memory book. It's perfect for distributed and extended families, or large family reunions.
Bring Extended Family Together
Get to know each other
Allow individuals across the extended family to share about themselves, where do they live, what have they been up to, what are their latest hobbies, and what they are passionate about.
Connect conveniently
Families are more distributed around the world than ever before. Connecting with others is challenging these days. With our memory books, families can easily share updates as a complement to in-person family reunions, or as part of a virtual family reunion.
Capture stories
Are there stories from Cousin Jane or Grandpa Joe that need to be captured and shared across the generations? Add a section in your book that showcases these life stories.
How Family Books Work

Choose content that relatives should contribute
