What can I read without an internet connection?
Download saved place guides in Help & install while online. The offline pack includes their descriptions and photographs. Music, maps, live websites and the full planner require a connection. Installation and available offline storage depend on your browser and device.
Is this an official clan society app?
No. It is an independently created guide by Phillip Arron McKenzie. The society links are included for further research; they do not imply endorsement.
Do I need to know my ancestry already?
No. You can explore without a family tree. The roots section helps you keep documented connections separate from questions you are still researching. A shared surname alone does not establish descent.
Where are my memories stored?
Your planner uses browser storage; My story uses storage on your device. Personal entries and photos are not uploaded by the app. Backups are downloaded files, and changing browsers or clearing website data may remove local memories. YouTube and other external services operate separately.
