The McLay Chronicle is a curated, multi-generation family archive — not a social network. It exists to preserve meaningful stories, significant events, traditions, and historical context that future generations will care about.

What belongs here

• Stories that will matter years from now
• Historical notes and family events
• Traditions, reunions, and oral histories
• Related memories attached to existing stories
• Lineage, photos, recipes, and documents

What does not

• Social feeds, likes, or comment threads
• Daily life updates without lasting meaning
• Uncontrolled expansion into distant in-law trees
• Permanent deletion of historical records

Access

The public may read this introduction. Family guests, contributors, and caretakers receive passwords from the family caretaker. Contributors may propose new material; caretakers approve before it appears publicly.
