JokboWorld (Finding your roots)
JokboWorld is a digital jokbo (Korean genealogy) service that connects your family's scattered roots into a single tree so you can find where you come from. Draw a generation-by-generation family tree β grandparents, parents, siblings and children β and record clan seat (bon-gwan), branch and generational names, as well as traditional ties like adoption (yangja, adopted-out). Invite family to fill it in together, and keep the finished jokbo as a PDF for years to come.
