A three-level quiz, regenerated with each update of the Great Book, the tree, or the documents submitted

How to access the quiz

  1. Be logged in to your Zakhor account.
  2. The chosen lineage must have a published Great Book. Without a Great Book, no question can be generated.
  3. Click on the CTA “Test your knowledge of a lineage” above.
  4. If you are not yet linked to a lineage, or if it does not yet have a Great Book, you will choose a lineage from those available — and you can change it at any time.

The three difficulty levels

Easy

The Great Book of the lineage

Questions generated solely from the lineage's Great Book: key dates, main figures, major narrative stages. Perfect for a first journey or for introducing the lineage to children and teenagers.

Medium

The Great Book + the family tree

The Great Book is cross-referenced with the names, dates and relationships present in your tree. The questions ask you to connect a figure from the Great Book to a specific branch of your tree, or to place a person within their generation.

Difficult

Great Book + tree + documents directly from the lineage

The expert level additionally draws on the documents contributed directly by your lineage: records, letters, annotated photographs, testimonies. The questions concern precise details, variant names, secondary places, and correspondences between documents.

For each quiz, you choose the difficulty and the number of questions: 10, 20, or max (the maximum number of relevant questions the database can generate at that level). Each question comes with an explanation and a precise reference to the source.

With each update of the tree, each new version of the Great Book, or each document submitted directly by the lineage, a new quiz is automatically made available — so you can come back regularly to test your living memory and absorb the new information.
