RealCousins — Your Family Tree Is Your Network

Family doesn't happen on Facebook. Group chats fade. Photos disappear into phones.
RealCousins gives every family one private place to gather — your tree at the
centre, your relatives all around it.

BUILD YOUR FAMILY TREE
• Add parents, grandparents, siblings, spouses, children, in-laws
• Smart layout handles multi-spouse families, polygamy, adopted children, and
step-relationships beautifully
• Auto-connect in-laws to your spouse's family — see your whole extended family
at a glance
• Cross-family unified view — one graph showing every tree you belong to
• Tree health checker flags suspect dates, missing names, and duplicates with
one-tap fixes

SHARE WHAT MATTERS
• Family feed — photos, stories, and updates visible to relatives only
• Family Gallery — one shared album per tree, everyone contributes
• Common Rooms — share to your House, Compound, Block, Street, or wider; each
level only sees what's meant for them
• Family Events — track birthdays, weddings, funerals, reunions

FAMILY REQUESTS
• Prayer requests — ask family for prayer
• Fundraise — pool contributions for family needs (secure Paystack payments)
• Help requests — get hands-on family help when you need it
• Announcements — share important family news

STAY IN TOUCH
• Direct messages with any relative
• Group conversations per tree
• Real-time notifications when family activity happens

20 FAMILY LEVELS
House → Compound → Block → Street → Quarter → Town → and beyond. Each level
unlocks new reach as your family grows.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
• Your tree is yours alone — only people you invite can see your family
• Biometric unlock (Face ID / fingerprint) gates the whole app
• Sensitive content can be blurred and viewer-discretion-protected
• You control re-sharing, expiry, and who can see what

CONNECT FAMILIES
• Link your tree to your spouse's family tree
• Approve cross-family connections so blood and marriage relatives share a view
• Welcome distant cousins through join-request flows

FOR NIGERIAN / AFRICAN FAMILIES
• Maiden name + family origin tracking
• Full polygamy support with proper child grouping under each mother
• Oriki / Eulogy / Panegyric fields preserve cultural heritage
• Ethnic affiliation and ancestral home fields

EXTRA FEATURES
• Watch Party — virtual gatherings for live family events
• Family Quiz — test how well your relatives know each other
• DNA kit integration
• Auto-spawn linked trees for new in-laws on member-add

WHO IT'S FOR
• Newlyweds documenting two sides of the family
• Grandparents preserving heritage for the next generation
• Diaspora families staying connected across continents
• Parents teaching kids who's who in the family
• Cousins planning reunions and contributing to big moments
• Anyone wanting to know where they come from
