The problem
African family history is disappearing
faster than it can be preserved
Every year, elders pass away and take undocumented stories with them. Families scatter across continents. Children grow up not knowing where they come from.

Elders pass away and take undocumented stories with them. When the person is gone, the memory is gone.

Families scatter across cities and continents. Children grow up in Lagos, London, or Houston without knowing their lineage.

Western genealogy tools were not built for African family structures, polygamous households, or oral tradition.

No major platform has been built from within African family culture to solve this problem. Until now.

What it is
Your family's permanent record
e-Historia is a private, invitation-only platform where African families build, preserve, and pass forward their complete history across generations. Every person has a profile. Every story is preserved. The archive grows with each generation.
It is not a social network. Not a public database. It is a private archive that belongs entirely to your family — with no advertising, no data sharing, and no third-party access of any kind.
"Every name on this tree deserves a face, a voice, and a story preserved for our generations to come."

How it works
Four steps to a living family archive
1
Register your tree
One founding member creates the family tree with a unique identifier and begins building the ancestral record upward from themselves.
2
Invite your family
Family members receive a personal invitation by email, SMS, or WhatsApp and claim their place in the tree.
3
Preserve your stories
Every member writes their biography using the AI assistant. Photographs and records are added to each profile.
4
Pass it forward
The archive grows with each generation. Every family member inherits what the previous generation built.
