The Family You Haven't Met Yet
The Family You Haven't Met Yet
You loved the movie—but have you seen the prequels? Research shows that more than any other single factor, knowing the family story is one of the strongest predictors of a child’s self-esteem, sense of identity, reduced anxiety, and the family’s overall sense of connection (see the study). That’s just one of the reasons why Prequel aims to tell that story in the most effective and engaging ways possible.

2. Treasure Hunt
Once we’re aligned, we’ll help you collect the raw materials that will bring your ancestor’s stories to life—photos, videos, journals, letters, even voice notes or interviews. We make it easy to upload what you have.

Turning Hearts to Their Fathers
Helping people recognize how special their heritage is is immeasurably fulfilling and meaningful to me. My hope is that everyone who learns about their family will feel a sense of connectedness, purpose, and completeness that they haven't yet realized.
