About

Pema e Familjes

Features
Read full description

Pema e Familjes is a private home for your family's tree, its people and its story. BUILD THE TREE Add parents, children, marriages and generations. The tree draws itself as it grows, and stays readable whether your family has twenty people or two thousand. KEEP THE STORY Family history, memories, photographs and documents live beside the people they belong to. What one generation remembers, the next one can still read. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT A family is closed. Only invited members can see it, and the family administrator decides who joins and what each person may see. Nothing is public, nothing is sold, and there are no ads. IN YOUR LANGUAGE The app follows your phone's language and is available in English, Albanian, German, Italian, French, Swedish, Norwegian and more โ€” so a family spread across four countries still reads the same tree. ALSO INCLUDED Statistics about your family, a shared archive, upcoming birthdays and anniversaries, and printed keepsakes โ€” a family book, an album, a poster. Questions: kontakt@pemaefamiljes.com
