The site offers a way to share vintage photos in a family tree format using a privacy-focused alternative to Facebook and Instagram.
United Kingdom - December 20, 2023 —

Groundbreaking photo-sharing website 64cousins now offers users a way to preserve, share, and celebrate old family photos within a unique interactive family tree structure. The service aims to prevent what are precious old family photos from collecting dust by allowing them to be shared with relatives in a private, secure environment. It is a novel way to keep cherished memories alive and connect with family globally, combining robust security features and a user-friendly interface.
“We created the site to make it easy to share old family photos totally privately and securely,” say 64cousins creator brothers Joe and Sean McDermott. “There is a massive history of pictures out there, collecting dust in drawers or old albums and we want to change that. Old family photos contain history and character and offer a valuable portal into the past that lets users explore their roots.”
64cousins is a regular photo-sharing site with a twist. Instead of displaying family photos in a grid or on a carousel, it arranges them into a beautiful family tree structure, showing where each individual fits. Users can log in from any phone, tablet, or computer, create a family tree, and tag relatives in it for a more visual representation of ancestry.
“Adding old photos is simple,” Joe explains. “Users can do it in three simple steps: snap, add and tag. Just take pictures of photos with a phone, upload them to the system, label people in it, and the job is done. Then, our software will automatically place the photo in the proper position.”
Social media websites are available for photo-sharing, but Joe and Sean insist their approach is superior for individuals wanting a more private experience. Instead of displaying all photos in public for everyone to see, they wanted a site that would offer more privacy and enable families to keep photos private. It is up to users who can view their images.
The service is also free. “Users can upload as many old photos as they want,” Sean says, “and invite as many friends and family as they want to join the site. All we ask for in return is some feedback on how we can improve the service.”
Incredibly, the story of 64cousins goes back over 30 years when Joe and Sean inherited a suitcase of dusty old photos. A year ago, the pair decided to find a technological way to put them to good use and keep them accessible long-term.

A recent study examined how coffee consumption affects mood and gut health in regular drinkers. Researchers found that both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee influenced psychological measures and gut bacteria. Although changes were noted, the study did not conclusively prove coffee's benefits for mental health. The influence of gut bacteria on brain signaling after coffee consumption posed new scientific inquiries. Larger and longer studies are necessary to further understand these interactions.

There is no number that suddenly makes a person rich. Still, Americans have a figure in mind. A 2025 Charles Schwab survey found that people believe an average net worth of $2.3 million is needed to be considered rich. That is a useful glimpse into how Americans view wealth, but it is not a fixed rule. Two households with the same amount of money can have very different financial lives.
Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has asked states to prepare rabi crop plans based on water availability and soil moisture, with water-stressed areas prioritising less water-intensive crops. He also called for higher cultivation of pulses and oilseeds to reduce India’s import dependence, while flagging drought conditions in Maharashtra and Karnataka.
Prices of key pulses including chana, moong, tur and matar have risen sharply over the past month, with wholesale rates increasing up to 11%, according to IPGA data. Industry executives attributed the surge to growing concerns over crop deficits, moisture stress, lower Australian supplies and stronger festive demand.
