About Discover Their Stories
A different approach to family history tools
Our Mission
Traditional genealogy software focuses on building trees—collecting names, dates, and connecting relationships. That's important work, but it's only the beginning.
Discover Their Stories picks up where the tree ends. We help you go deeper into the research, understand the context of your ancestors' lives, and transform that research into content your family will actually read and cherish.
With AI assistance, we make the tedious parts faster—extracting information, identifying patterns, suggesting connections—so you can spend your time on what matters: understanding and sharing the lives of those who came before.
Our Principles
Storytelling First
We believe family history is about stories, not just data. Every ancestor was a person with hopes, fears, and a life worth remembering.
Your Data, Your Control
All your work stays on your computer. We don't store your family data on servers. Export everything in open formats.
AI as Assistant
AI helps with the heavy lifting—analysis, synthesis, writing—but you stay in control. The human researcher makes the decisions.
Built for Researchers
Created by genealogists who understand the unique challenges of family history research. We know what matters.
