Tell their relationship story
Record how they met, wedding dates, and relationships that have ended.
Recorded with a sample family. AI-generated narration using Achernar. Your options depend on your role and family settings.
Let’s walk through it.
Remember the beginning
A relationship is more than a line on the tree. Open a person’s profile and look under About for How they met. Add the place, the story, and the dates you know. The first meeting and the wedding are separate milestones.
Save meaningful dates
Use the meeting and wedding fields for those specific occasions. The relationship began date belongs to the relationship itself. You can leave any date blank. Wedding dates can help the family celebrate anniversaries in its newsletter.
Record a life chapter
When a relationship changes, choose Manage relationship in Relationships and life chapters. Set its status and, if you know it, the end date. You can add a thoughtful note about that time in their life.
Choose what stays visible
Decide whether to keep the leaf in the main tree after the relationship ends. An otherwise unconnected leaf can move to life chapters. Parents and people with other family connections stay connected, so children do not lose their parent’s story. Save when everything feels right.
