Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about creating family books, charts, and photos with Rememberkin. Can't find your answer? Email us at support@rememberkin.com.
Getting started
How does Rememberkin work?
Sign in with your FamilySearch account and Rememberkin automatically builds printed books and wall charts from your family tree — names, dates, places, and portraits included. You can review and customize everything before ordering.
Do I need a FamilySearch account?
Rememberkin works best with a FamilySearch account. It is free, and we pull your tree and photos directly from it without changing your FamilySearch tree. If you don't have one, learn how to create one. If you have a GEDCOM file you're hoping to use, email support@rememberkin.com and tell us more about your project.
Do I need to be a genealogy expert?
Not at all. If your family tree already exists on FamilySearch, most of the work is done. Rememberkin gathers the data and lays out the pages automatically — you just pick the starting person and the product.
How long does it take to create a book or chart?
Minutes, not hours. Rememberkin builds a complete first draft automatically. Most families spend a little extra time swapping photos and polishing details, but you can go from sign-in to checkout in a single sitting.
Photos
Where do the photos come from?
We gather the portraits already attached to your FamilySearch tree, and you can upload your own. You choose which photo represents each person.
What if some ancestors don't have photos?
That's normal — especially for earlier generations. Our layouts are designed to look beautiful with or without portraits, and you can add photos any time before you order.
What is photo enhancement?
Our photo enhancement brings faded, scratched, or low-resolution family photos back to life so they look great in print. You can preview the result before deciding.
Ordering & shipping
How long does printing and shipping take?
Every book and chart is custom-printed to order. Most orders are printed within a few business days and arrive within 1–2 weeks, depending on your location. You'll get tracking information as soon as your order ships.
Can I order multiple copies?
Yes — books and charts make wonderful gifts for parents, grandparents, and siblings. You can order as many copies as you'd like in a single checkout.
What is your return policy?
If your order hasn't gone to print yet, we'll refund it in full — no questions asked. If it arrives damaged or defective, we'll replace it free within 30 days of delivery. See our Returns page for the details.
Privacy & data
Is my family's data safe?
Yes. Your tree and photos are imported securely and used only to build your products. We never sell your family's data. See our Privacy Policy for the full picture.
Does Rememberkin change my FamilySearch tree?
No. Rememberkin only reads from FamilySearch to build your products — it never writes to or modifies your tree.
