Community additions · pre-publication review

Add a name to the archive.

The three questions that matter are at the top of every submission: who are you, who are you adding, and how do you know? Everything else can be left blank and filled in later. Nothing is published without the family owner reading it first.

Step 1 — About you

We need your name and email so we can follow up if we have questions. Your contact details are never shown on the site.

Your full name*Your email address*How are you connected to this family?(optional)e.g. I'm the daughter of Michael Vaughan (b.1940). Or: My grandmother was a Vaughan from Limerick.

Step 2 — What you'd like to share

Choose the option that best fits, then fill in as much or as little as you know. You can always leave fields blank.

What are you sharing?*Which branch of the family?(optional)If you're not sure, choose the first option — that's fine.Is this about someone already in the archive?(optional)Leave blank if you're adding someone brand new.

Step 3 — The details

Fill in what you know. Everything here is optional — even a single sentence is valuable.

Full name of the person(optional)Only needed if you're adding someone new.

Year they were born(optional)Year they passed away(optional)

Their parents (if you know them)(optional)Tell us what you know — in your own words(optional)Write as much or as little as you like. Dates, places, memories, corrections — anything helps.

Step 4 — Photos or videos (optional)

Step 5 — Where does this come from? (optional)

This helps us assess how reliable the information is. If it's from family memory, that's perfectly fine — just say so.

How do you know this?Any more detail? (optional)e.g. My mother told me this in 1998. Or: I found it written on the back of a photo.
