For clans and family associations
The family that meets, plans and keeps records.
Ancestral Lineage gives an organised family somewhere to do that work together — separate from the historical record, and closed unless you open it.
What a clan workspace is for
A family tree records who people were. A clan workspace runs what the family does now — the meetings, the money, the obligations, the people who need telling.
Family meeting — Saturday, 10am
What you get
Six things, all of them working today
A member directory that stays current
Everyone in one searchable list, with roles you set — administrator, contributor, member — so the right people can post and the rest can read.
Announcements the whole clan sees
Meeting notices, bereavements, levies and decisions in one place, instead of scattered across WhatsApp groups that half the family is not in.
Events with attendance
Reunions, funerals and annual meetings, with who has said they are coming and who has not yet replied.
Shared resources
Constitutions, minutes, land documents and photographs, kept where the next executive can find them.
A public page for the clan
One address you can give to diaspora relatives and researchers, holding only what the clan agrees to show.
Private by default
A clan workspace is closed. Nothing reaches the open web, and nothing is listed anywhere public, until an administrator chooses it.
Being listed publicly
Nothing is public unless you say so
A clan workspace is closed by default, and it stays out of the public directory until an administrator switches that on. Being listed shows the clan's name, a line you write yourself and how many members it has — never the posts, the documents, the events or the member list.
