Who has the biggest family?
Every family on BuildFam gets a Legacy Card — and every Legacy Card gets a rank. Only counts are public: no photos, no names, no private stories. Just bragging rights.
Our overall ranking — size, depth, and reach combined.

The full standings
Ranked by legacy score. Updated as families grow their trees.

Depth counts as much as size
A hundred-year-old tree with seven generations can out-rank a brand-new tree with twice the people. Every documented ancestor moves you up.
How wide
Every person you add counts, and your widest single generation earns bonus points.
How far back
Your “Est.” year is the birth year of the earliest person on your tree. The further back you can prove your line, the higher you rank — it means the lineage was kept.
How far
Every state and country your family calls home shows how far the branches have reached.
