Questions and answers about the shezhire

The digital tree costs 2,990 ₸, the A2 poster for printing 4,990 ₸ and the family book in PDF 9,990 ₸ (₸ is the Kazakhstani tenge, KZT). The price is fixed, with no extras: the poster includes the digital tree, and the book includes both the poster and the digital tree.

A couple of minutes after payment. The neural network draws the background in about a minute, the book texts take about as long, and you can download the files right away on the order page. There are no managers and no queue.

You need your own name and the names of your ancestors in the direct paternal line, as many as you know, at least two names. Years of life, places, photos and the elders’ stories make the book richer but are not required. You can place an order right now.

Order with the ones you know: the empty places on the tree stay as neat dotted frames. When you have asked the elders, add the names through the same order link and download the files again, for free. How to collect the information is explained in the article “How to build your family’s shezhire”.

No, we do not search archives for ancestors and we add nothing of our own. The tree and the book are built only from what you and your relatives know. An invented ancestor in a family book is worse than an empty line.

The neural network draws a unique background in the style you chose, with a landscape of your region, and for the book it turns your notes into flowing text. The site itself places the names on the tree, so the Kazakh and Kyrgyz letters ә, ғ, қ, ң, ө, ұ, ү, і are always written exactly. If there are no notes about an ancestor, the neural network writes nothing about him: the page keeps blank lines for your own entry.

That field is optional and appears only in the book. Enter your clan (ru, in Kazakh genealogy a group of descendants of one ancestor) only if you are sure of it; we never add anything ourselves. The article “How to find your clan, ru and zhuz” explains where to start.

The labels on the tree and the book texts can be in Russian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Uzbek or English. Names are written exactly as you entered them, with Kazakh and Kyrgyz letters.

Yes. The order page has a link “Edit names, years or design”: make your changes and download the files again, at no extra charge. If you change the notes for the book, the texts are rewritten.

At any photo lab or print shop in your city: the files are already the right size, the A2 poster (42 × 59.4 cm) and the A4 book. We do not print or deliver ourselves, which is why an order works in any country.

By bank card through Robokassa on the order page. Card details are entered on the payment service’s side and we never see them. Right after payment the page opens your files by itself.

Yes. The order is entirely online, the files download at once, and you can print the poster or the book in your own city. Payment is by card through Robokassa.

Names, years, notes and photos are needed only to build your files. They are stored on the server while the order link works and open only through that link. Details are in the privacy policy.

If you open the site in the same browser, the link to your latest order appears on the order page. If not, send us the order code, or the date and a name from the tree, on WhatsApp and we will find it.
