Your family, on the map it came from.

તમારું કુટુંબ, નકશા પર

Vanshavali turns the names your elders remember into a living map — every generation pinned to its gaam, every branch traced to wherever it went. Build it together, and send the whole family one link.

Free while in early access · Private until you share it

Plate I Gujarat · ગુજરાત · four generations of the Desai family

For generations, a Barot kept the book.

Across Gujarat, Vahivancha Barots went from village to village, writing each family’s births and marriages into hand-bound vahis. That ledger is how many of us know our kul at all.

Vanshavali keeps the record the way the family would keep it themselves — and adds the one thing a ledger never had: where everyone lived.

Drop each person where they lived.

Pinch into the district and place them on the gaam. When a whole family lived in one town their cards stack neatly, each with a line back to the real spot. Switch to satellite and you can see the fields and the old haveli.

  • Kul, gotra, kuldevi, native gaam
  • Titles as your family says them — Darbar, Kumar Shri, Bapu, Ba
  • Version history for every edit

One link for the family group.

Relatives open it on their phone — no app, no account. They find themselves, tap through to their grandparents, and pass it on. Every tree unfurls with its own preview, so people actually tap it.

  • Invite kaka or masi by email to help edit
  • Everything saves as you type

The living stay private.

Your tree is yours alone until you share it. On a shared link, relatives who are alive keep their phone number, email, address and exact birthday to themselves — the link shows names, places and how everyone is related.

  • No ads. We never sell or share your family’s data
  • Download everything, or delete it, any time

Questions families ask

Is it free?
Yes. Building, sharing and inviting relatives is free while we are in early access. If we ever add paid extras, what you already have stays free.
Do relatives need an account?
No. Anyone with your link can open the map on their phone. They only sign in if you invite them to help edit.
How do I sign in?
With your Google account, in one tap. Or type your email and we send you a six-digit code — the same account either way.
Who can see my tree?
Only you and the people you invite, until you turn on link sharing. Turn it off or make a new link whenever you like.
Part of our family is abroad.
The map is the whole world — Mumbai, Nairobi, Leicester, New Jersey. Gujarat is just where the town list starts.
Will it be in Gujarati?
Gujarati names already work everywhere. A Gujarati interface is next, with kinship words like kaka, mama, fai and masi.

Start with the name you know best — your own.
