🌳 Build my family's history
Five steps from a name to the archives
INGONYAMA does not hold your family's records. This journey turns what you already know into a research trail: who you are looking for, who they were connected to, where their life moved, when it happened, and which archives to ask next.
Step 1 — the ancestor you already know
Start with one person
Begin with the earliest relative you can name with confidence. Approximate dates are fine — indexes are searched across a range of years.
