A Singapore register, written by Singaporeans.

Our source may lie
in an ancestral place.

Our roots are here. The Society teaches a plain, searchable Photo Genealogy: begin with the first generation that settled in Singapore, and write the founding history of your own family.

THREE STARTING POINTS

A living book
begins here.

01

Singapore generation count

Do not mix generations with a China-origin register.

02

Eight Methods

Cover, surname, migration, ancestral culture, lineage, childhood, family dishes, family register.

03

A living book

Saved in the members’ studio and revised every five to seven years. Printing is a separate service.
