Roots Adventure Full Archive
A complete family-history archive built from evidence, context, and story.
For families and researchers who want a deeper archive than a basic family tree. Roots Adventure combines known family information, documents, research notes, photographs, evidence summaries, and narrative context into one carefully prepared archive.

Built around outcomes, not features
Everything a serious researcher needs, in one connected place.
Prove what you find
Keep documents, source observations, citations, and verification context beside the conclusions they support.
Preserve the story
Connect biographies, photographs, and oral-history notes to the people and evidence that give them context.
Model real families
Represent adoptive, step, guardian, associate, and other complex relationships with appropriate care.
Connect the clues
Keep DNA match observations and research hypotheses connected to documentary evidence rather than isolated in another tool.
Plan for preservation
Export, backup, retention, and ownership details are part of the product direction but require technical and legal verification.

How the Full Archive begins

Archive questions
Common questions
Is the Archive available to purchase?
It is available for launch enquiry. No public checkout or owner-approved price is published yet, so the current action is to request a quote and confirm scope.
Is this a basic family tree?
No. A basic family tree focuses on names and relationships. The Full Archive adds evidence notes, documents, photographs, story context, research questions, and a clearer preservation structure.
What does the customer supply?
The customer supplies known names, dates, family stories, photographs, documents, goals, and any research already completed. Sensitive living-person, DNA, and private documents are handled only after scope and privacy expectations are confirmed.
How is the finished archive delivered?
Delivery format is confirmed during project planning. This site does not promise permanent hosting, account access, unlimited revisions, or automatic updates.
Is customization available?
Customization can be discussed during enquiry, but final scope, updates, and revision boundaries must be confirmed before purchase.
