Histree is where families ask each other for the stories that would otherwise be lost. Ask Grandma how she met Grandpa. Ask Dad about his first job. Ask your aunt what your mom was like at 16, or ask anyone what you were like as a kid. They answer with a quick video, a voice note or a few lines, right from a text. Then leave your own: advice for your kids, a story for the grandkids, a message for family who aren’t born yet. Share it now, or save it to open on a big day.
Most stories never get told because nobody asked. Send any relative a question about anything: what was Great-Grandpa like, how did you two meet, what was I like when I was little, what do you wish you’d known at 20. They answer by talking, typing or video from a link in a text. A new family question every week keeps everyone sharing.
Record the advice you want your kids to hear at 30. Leave a story for the grandkids, or a welcome for the great-grandchildren who aren’t born yet. Share it with the family now, or seal it to open on a 16th birthday, a wedding day or a graduation. Either way it stays on the tree for them.
See what everyone shared this week. React, comment, and add what you remember to someone else’s story. Birthday cards the whole family signs, albums from every gathering, and a cookbook of the recipes that go with the stories.
Share each memory with the whole family, or just the person it’s about. Invite who you want into your tree.
