About Xidid

Migration and distance have scattered our communities across the globe, but our roots remain connected. Xidid is a sovereign, secure platform designed to help Somali diaspora communities rebuild and preserve their abtirsi lineages, secure oral history testimonies, and establish transparent collective governance.

Our Vision

We believe that preserving ancestral identity is a collective right. By combining organic community structures—like elder validation and branch quorums—with modern engineering, Xidid provides a secure space where scattered branches meet again. Unlike corporate genealogy platforms, Xidid respects the sovereignty of our culture, protecting your lineage from corporate monetization.

Key Features

• Abtirsi Lineage Trees: Reconstruct and explore verified family relationships in detailed tree visualizations.
• Global Migration Map: Trace ancestral paths and see how your clan distribution has shifted over the years.

Our Commitment

We are built for the community, by the community. We maintain the highest standards of data security, privacy controls, and audit transparency so you can confidently connect with your relatives and build your heritage records.
