Individual invitations and family boundaries protect the record.
How Kinonicle works
One stewarded record. A family that can finally use it.
Kinonicle turns an existing GEDCOM into an understandable private family space without taking authority away from the person responsible for it.
From names to living record
Five steps the whole family can understand.
- 01
Import a copy
Bring in the GEDCOM you already maintain while keeping the original untouched. Kinonicle records the source context and helps you check familiar branches before inviting anyone.
- 02
Explore the family
Move through large branches, focus on one person and ask how any two relatives are connected without losing the surrounding tree.
- 03
Invite through the steward
Each family member signs in with their own approved email. They can browse the private record, suggest what is missing and propose another relative without granting access themselves.
- 04
Review together
A family steward approves access and compares every contribution with the current record before accepting it. The history of important changes remains visible.
- 05
Keep it portable
Add photographs, notes, places and sources, then keep an independent GEDCOM export so the family is never dependent on one service.
The trust boundary
Private, reviewed and portable.
Suggestions are welcomed without turning the tree into an unmoderated wiki.
GEDCOM export keeps an independent family copy within reach.
Common questions
Before you begin.
Is a Kinonicle family tree public?
No. Family spaces require individual access and are excluded from search engines. Public pages explain the product; they do not expose family records.
Can I import an existing tree?
Yes. Kinonicle supports GEDCOM import and export. Always keep an untouched copy of the source file and review information about living people before uploading it.
Can relatives invite anyone they want?
A relative may propose an invitation, but the proposal grants no access. A steward reviews who should enter the wider family space and the invited person must sign in with the approved email address.
Can relatives edit anything they want?
Relatives propose additions and corrections. A family steward reviews each change before it enters the trusted record.
Who owns the family record?
The family remains responsible for its information and can export the maintained genealogy. Kinonicle does not sell family data or use it for advertising.
