Jewish family memory
A private family archive alongside public genealogy
Keep sensitive family recordings and working research within an intended audience while using public genealogy resources for discovery. Public research and private preservation can support the same project.

What this looks like in a family
A public record can support a fact without requiring a private interview about the person to become public. Keep the citation with the fact and review the interview's audience separately.
A practical workflow
List which items can be shared publicly, which belong only with invited relatives, and which require further consent. Test access using the role of an intended recipient.
What Pinkas brings together
Pinkas includes family-tree, photo, interview, calendar, recipe, and supported creative-output workflows. Access, processing requirements, and included features vary by offer. Use the current pricing page and the product demo to check the workflow you need before purchasing.
Who can see the material?
Review the audience for the material you contribute and the roles of invited relatives. A downloaded file can be forwarded outside Pinkas, so review its contents before sharing. The privacy and export documentation explain the applicable controls and limitations.
Can we take our material with us?
Family exports include the data and original media the requester is allowed to access. A complete archive export requires separately granted data-trustee access. Export links expire; store downloaded copies securely and check them before deleting any original.
