Family History · Genealogy · Legacy

You found your ancestors.
Make sure your descendants find you.

Years of research gave you names, dates, and a few brittle photos. You still don't know what their voices sounded like, or why they really left home. Eternem makes sure no one ever has to wonder that about you.

Genealogy tells you who you're related to. Eternem keeps who they were.

Ancestry, MyHeritage, and FamilySearch are wonderful at what they do — mapping bloodlines and surfacing records. Eternem sits on top of that work and fills the silence the records leave behind.

Their voice, not a transcript

Record stories in your own voice. Eterna transcribes and polishes them while keeping the original audio, so the sound of you survives.

The story behind the photo

A face on a census line says nothing. A capsule holds the day it was taken, who was laughing just out of frame, and why it mattered.

Answers to questions not yet asked

Eterna learns from everything you preserve and can answer a great-grandchild's questions in the way you would have answered them yourself.
