Affiliate disclosure
Family Bible is built and run by a very small team. We don’t show ad networks, we don’t sell your data, and we don’t share who’s in your family with anyone outside our service.
To keep the lights on without charging every family a subscription fee, we sometimes link to outside services that help you fill in parts of your family story — for example, DNA-testing companies like 23andMe and family-history services like Ancestry. When a link on Family Bible takes you to one of those services and you sign up or buy something, we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
What this means for you
- Affiliate links never change the price you pay. The partner pays us — not you.
- We only mention partners we think genuinely fit the moment — usually around an “unknown ancestor” placeholder, where a DNA test can actually help you fill in the gap.
- We don’t share your name, email, family tree, photos, or messages with our partners. The link itself just opens their site in a new tab.
- We log clicks (date, partner, where on Family Bible the link was) so we can see which partnerships are useful. We don’t log who you are alongside the click unless you’re signed in, and we never sell that data.
Our principles
- Honest by default. Every affiliate link will say so or be obviously branded as a partner.
- Useful, not pushy. If a partner stops being relevant, we’ll remove it — even if it pays well.
- You’re always in charge. Don’t want to see partner suggestions? Skip them. They’re never required, and your archive works the same either way.
