Joseph
Coey's grandfather, known by the nickname Jody, remembered for always wearing denim bib overalls — even with a tie in family photographs — and receiving a fresh pair every Christmas from Hattie and Julius.
How we know
Every fact about Joseph, with where it came from. Your word always outranks a re-scan.
Real photo
Have an actual photo of Joseph? Add it and we'll build their illustrated likeness from it — locked across every book in the collection. Optional.
Family
Set parents and we'll draw this person with a real family resemblance — children visibly belong to their parents.
FamilySearch
FS_CLIENT_ID and FS_REDIRECT_URI in the server environment. Imported records fill in birth/death years and portraits — without ever overriding the journal or your own edits.
What makes Joseph
The locked visual details the illustrator matches on every page. Edits save here (the source of truth) and flow to every book Joseph appears in.
The canonical likeness
The locked turnaround + reference the AI illustrator draws from on every page, in every book. Built from the traits — add a real photo above to anchor it to the actual person.

Life stages
The same Joseph at every age they appear in the series. Draw a stage to age it from the canonical likeness, or pin a real photo to the stage it actually shows — even an old one — and the younger stages age down from it. Give each stage an outfit (clothes are era and station — a boy in England dresses nothing like a father in Utah) and every page at that age keeps it. Lock a stage once it's right so it's never redrawn. Each is generated once and reused across every book.
