Family Tree File Desk
A local file desk for carefully sharing a family branch. Review the source relationships and privacy choices before producing a new, bounded subset.
How we build a check
This workbench processes supported inputs locally. We test calculations, file structure and generated artifacts using independent readers or known fixtures where available. The example runs the same processing path as a supplied input; it does not stand in for checking your own result.
