A thought experiment

Every generation back, your family doubles

5 generations ago — around 1901 — you had 32 direct ancestors.

Parents10 generations

Most of their names are already gone from living memory. Shajrah exists so the ones we can still prove aren’t lost.

What your tree looks like

Every tree renders in two modes. A focused card view for storytelling, and a classic hierarchical chart for sharing or printing. Both export cleanly as PNG.

Illustration only. Living relatives never appear in public search.

And We made you peoples and tribes so that you may know one another.

— The Qur'an (49:13)

دلیل

Evidence-backed

Every public ancestor is anchored to documents, photographed graves, scholar references, or witness statements. No record stands on a single claim.

جماعت

Verified by community

Tree owners review evidence and respond to disputes in the open. Trust accumulates through vouches, identity co-signs, and a transparent reputation system.

امانت

Living relatives stay private

The public index only includes ancestors who have passed. Living family members never appear in search — it's a rule in the code, not a setting you can flip.

How it works

  1. 01

    Build

    Sketch your tree in a private sandbox. Add ancestors, link relationships, capture what’s still in living memory.

  2. 02

    Verify

    Upload supporting documents. Invite relatives to co-sign. Open disputes get resolved in a public discussion thread — facts win, not loudest voices.

  3. 03

    Share

    Once verified, choose what’s public. Living relatives stay hidden. Verified ancestors become discoverable to researchers, descendants, and the wider community.
