The Lineage Archive
Not a report about a person, but a record of a line. Twelve archives a year — and that is a real limit, not a sales device.
A report is read once and put away. The Lineage Archive is built differently: it is one file assembled around your family name and it stays with the family. You can open it in ten years, add to it, pass it on.
What is inside
- Every name in the line that you gather: you, your spouse, children, parents, grandparents. Usually between nine and twenty names.
- The number of every name in all nine counting systems, with the arithmetic shown beside each number.
- Two lines by birth surname — maternal and paternal, up to the grandparents.
- The full pairwise grid: everyone against everyone, not one index per couple. This is where you see where the family agrees and where it argues.
- Atbash on every name — the name read as a different word.
- A year map on the 354-day cycle for every member of the family.
- A bibliography: under every number, the place in the Chumash it comes from. This is what you show the most sceptical person in the family.
- A private page at a permanent address, reachable only by your link — opens on a phone, shown to nobody without you.
Why twelve a year, and why that is true
The archive is assembled by hand. Cross-checking twenty names, separating two lines by birth surname, building the full pairwise grid and placing a Chumash reference under every number is days of work, not minutes. So the limit is not there to hurry you — it is there because it physically exists. We would rather say “there are no places left this year” than take the money and do it badly.
Honestly about what “forever” means
- The file is yours forever. You download the PDF and the raw data at any time and keep them yourself — they work without us and without the internet.
- The right to export never expires, and it is written into the terms rather than promised verbally.
- The archive passes to an heir. It is your family record, not an account in your name.
- If the service ever closes, we give at least 90 days' notice and hand over a full standalone export.
- We do NOT promise to maintain your archive by hand indefinitely. Such a promise cannot be counted in hours, and therefore cannot be sold honestly.
- Instead there is a finite, counted number: twelve updates. A child is born, a marriage, a change of surname — we add it and recompute. Each update spends one of the twelve.
- When the twelve are used up, the archive does not go anywhere and stays with you. You may buy another pack of updates, or not.
How to begin
Write and tell me how many names in your line you can gather and how far back you reach. I will reply whether I am taking an order this year, how long it will take and what it costs. If it turns out SOD or a single report is enough for you, I will say so.
