The name
Iranti
/ i · ran · ti /
Yoruba, West Africa

1. Remembrance; the act of holding something in memory; a keepsake or memorial.

2. That which is kept in mind; a memento; something preserved so it shall not be forgotten.

In Yoruba tradition, remembrance is not passive — it is an active, communal act. To remember is to keep the living presence of those who came before. Iranti is the vessel that holds that presence.

01

Every person matters

No ancestor is too distant, no relative too obscure. Every name added to the archive is a life restored to memory, a thread rewoven into the family fabric.

02

Stories deserve to survive

Oral histories fade. Photographs yellow. Documents are lost. Iranti creates a permanent, structured home for the stories that define your family's identity.

03

Roots create belonging

Knowing where you come from shapes who you become. By mapping connections across generations, Iranti gives families a foundation to stand on.

Our mission

Built for the long arc of family history

Iranti was born from a simple observation: the tools families use to preserve their history are scattered, fragile, and temporary. Photo albums deteriorate. Spreadsheets are lost. Social media platforms disappear.

We set out to build something different — a unified, purposeful archive designed to hold family history with the care it deserves. Not a social network. Not a genealogy database. A home for memory.

"A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots."
— Marcus Garvey

Iranti is built on the conviction that this kind of knowledge belongs to every family — regardless of how well-documented their history is. We start with what exists and build forward from there.
