Family history, told by the people who knew it

A Life Worth Remembering

Zaxot gathers memories, facts, stories, photographs, and documents from relatives, friends, and other contributors. Each contribution remains connected to the person who supplied it, helping turn family knowledge into a biography that is both personal and carefully sourced.

The process

Collect the pieces of a life. Let the story emerge.

Contributors answer focused questions about what they know—people, places, schools, work, travel, relationships, beliefs, events, and memories. As those pieces accumulate, patterns and connections emerge, along with the areas that still need research.

Contribute

Family members, friends, and other respondents contribute memories and knowledge about people, places, events, habits, beliefs, hardships, and accomplishments.

Research

Names, dates, quotations, claims, documents, and other evidence can be reviewed while preserving where each piece of information came from.

Build

Collected testimony and research can be transformed into a coherent biography while unresolved contradictions and unanswered questions remain visible.

Zaxot is currently in development.

Core account, project, subject, respondent, research, and biography systems are being developed and tested before public release.
