Six relatives are enough to begin.A living family archive
Banyan turns quick contributions from many relatives into one lasting place for your family.
Add a face, photo, or story while you are together—not weeks later at a computer.
Invite every branch. One person sponsors the tree; everyone can help it grow.
Only the relatives you invite can see your family space. It never becomes a public tree.

More than a family tree
Keep photographs, voices, relationships, and everyday memories together—so your family can understand where they come from and add what comes next.
A few names and faces are enough to begin.
Birthdays, reunions, old photographs, and remembered details give everyone a reason to add a little more.
Your children inherit more than a chart—they inherit the people, context, and stories behind it.
Plans that make sense over time
One person sponsors the tree. Every invited relative can join and contribute—no separate subscription required.
