Power your genealogy research with Notion. Track your family history and threaded connections between people, places, stories, and events. View when people lived and died on a timeline. Watch family migrations across various regions.
Hello! Thanks for viewing my second launch on Product Hunt.
A little background: Over the years I have spent many (countless) hours researching my genealogy and learning about my family history. This kind of research generates a metric ton of information of various types and from various sources. I've unearthed photographs, wills, birth records, census records, stories, newspaper clippings... I've learned anecdotes, legends, and tales. It's an information hoarders dream! Managing all of that information in a way that keeps it organized - yet instantly at your fingertips for reference - becomes the challenge.
This is where Notion comes in. Not only can I keep my information organized but I can take it several steps further with the ability to *network* the data and view all of the threaded connections between people, places, stories, and events. I can view when people lived and died on a timeline, and see which people were alive at the same time. I can watch family migrations across various regions. I can manage this using Notion's powerful database relations, timeline views, grouping, commenting, and tagging features. I can also manage my research notes and tasks on my dashboard to keep accessible. Notion is the perfect tool for this kind of information and research management!
I built this initially for my own personal use then opened it up to the community so other folks can benefit from managing their genealogy research in Notion as well. Here are a couple of comments I've received back:
“Genealogy template – genius! I still have a master online database (wikitree) but for storytelling and visualization, this is the bomb!”
“Thank you Sir, I really appreciate your genealogy Notion template. My research is now much more organized than using Google Drive.”
I appreciate your support for this launch, and I welcome your feedback! I hope the community finds this to be a valuable addition to the toolkit.
