Field notes

Kith describes installation through Proxmox, Docker, or Debian, then gives the site owner control over who can view family information. Its census browser is organized by year, place, and household, and the homepage says transcribed names can be matched to people for review. Relatives can choose among five listed themes, including dark and large-print options.
