User Experience: Visitors enter their ethnicity and last name to explore their family roots through an interactive surname database. Discover ancestral origins and print a personalized genealogy snapshot as a take-home keepsake. Designed for easy updates—new family histories can be added effortlessly over time.

Optional Value Add: Share results to email. Implement an admin upload portal so that MDG can add new genealogy data easily.

Success Metrics:

Visitors can search for their family name and discover ancestry details in both English and Filipino.

A printed souvenir is given at the end, creating a personal takeaway with minimal wait time.

The experience is easy to navigate, starting with selecting an ethnicity and ending with a beautifully presented result.

New family name data can be added remotely, so the content stays current without needing on-site updates.

The system resets after each session to keep visitor information private and ensure smooth operation.
