Family Age Timeline App
Stop Guessing When That Photo Was Taken.
The Family Age Timeline turns the birth dates you already have into an instant answer — the year, sometimes the exact months, an old photo was taken.
You Know This Feeling As A Business Owner or DIYer
You open up a box of photos with no dates on the back. There are three generations in one picture, and you're doing math in your head — was Grandma thirty here, or thirty-two? What year does that make it?
It's slow. You are trying to get close to the date you think it was taken. It's easy to second-guess yourself. And it's hard to hand a client a confident answer when you're not fully sure yourself.
You don't have to keep doing this by hand.
You'll Be Up and Running in Minutes.
No tech experience needed. If you can open a file and click a button, you can use this.

One Tool, Built for This Exact Problem
The Family Age Timeline is a single file that lives right on your computer. You enter each family member's birth date once, and it does the math for you — instantly, and as many times as you need.
- See everyone's age — and school grade — for any year, at a glance
- Guess one person's age, and instantly see which year (sometimes which months) it falls in
- Have two or three people in the same photo? Enter your best guess for each, and narrow the date down to a single year
- Only know a grade, not an age? Look up "3rd grade" and see the matching year for everyone in the family at once

Print-Ready and Spreadsheet-Ready
Print a clean report for client notes, or export the table to a spreadsheet in a click.

A note from Susan
I built this tool because I was living the problem myself.
Over the years I've helped hundreds of people get their photos and memories organized. And one of the most frustrating moments — for me and for my clients — was staring at a photo and not being able to pinpoint when it was taken.
I knew there had to be a better way than doing the math in my head every single time. So I built one.
The Family Age Timeline is simple, fast, and built around one idea: you shouldn't have to guess. You should be able to open a tool, enter what you know, and get a confident answer.
I hope it saves you as much time as it's saved me.
