Who families watch
For the people who are still on your mind.
Life moves on and people drift apart. Monitoring makes sure you hear the news, even years later.
A distant relative
An aunt, uncle or cousin you do not hear from often.
A former colleague
A mentor, teacher or coworker who mattered to you.
Family you are apart from
A parent, sibling or child you are not in contact with.
Someone who is unwell
A loved one in poor health who lives far away.
Family history research
Names you are tracing for your family tree.
Peace of mind
Less searching. Less worry.
Instead of checking websites again and again, let us keep watch. You will hear from us only when it matters.
