Good to know
Your questions, answered plainly
Is the AI really trained on genealogical archives?
Yes. Our AI is trained on large collections of digitised records to read old handwriting and connect documents. It never invents a link: every connection is backed by a source you can check.
What if a record isn't digitised or the name is misspelled?
It happens often: the document may not be online, the name may be spelled differently, or the person may appear in a neighbouring town. Our AI suggests spelling variants and nearby parishes so you can keep searching.
Are my genealogical data secure?
Yes, your genealogical data are encrypted and stored in France. You can export your data at any time, and we never share your information with third parties.
Can I work on my tree with my family?
Yes, our platform offers a collaborative space. You can invite family members to contribute, share documents and exchange messages around the same tree.
Can I connect my DNA results?
Yes. If you provide a DNA test, our AI cross-references genetic matches with documentary records to suggest possible relatives — always confirmed against a source.
Are the French public archives free?
Most French public archives are free to consult online. The AI simply speeds up reading and cross-referencing; it never replaces the source itself.
