Confinity vs Ancestry.

We have real respect for Ancestry. For tracing lineage (census returns, immigration manifests, parish registers, DNA matches) nothing else comes close, and if that's what you're after, you should use it. But Ancestry looks backward. It researches ancestors from public archives. Confinity looks at now. It's a private, warm home for the present and the recent past: the texture of ordinary days, a grandparent's actual voice recorded while they're still here, photos and stories your children will want a generation from today. Ancestry assembles a tree of names from records; Confinity holds the living people behind them, shared only by invitation, with consent tiers. They're opposites in time. Ancestry is for the researcher reaching back. Confinity is for the family writing forward. Many households will happily keep both.
