What is this site for?

As most of you know, private Facebook groups have taken over for most family members as the way to keep in touch with each other. However, we will always keep this website available for those that wish to have something outside of Facebook and other for-profit sites free from advertising and data collection. Please contact @traek if you would like to have a site set up for your family. It can be private or public depending on what you want to share.

You can also watch here for news, collaborate with family members in genealogy or just catch up with family without the distractions that come in mainstream social media.

Malan Family Community

Come for the news and stay for the conversation. This site is brought to you by the descendants of John Daniel Malan but all Malans around the world are welcome to join for a free account, start a group or even a free hosted private family blog. We’d love to get to know all of you!

We also have a 501(c)(3) that runs malan.family: Zion Foundation which provides the following benefits to us:

Shared web hosting (non-commercial only) at no cost
Personalized Gmail address @malan.family or @malanfamily.com (we can also bring your own family domain to it if you prefer) at no cost
G Suite for Nonprofits benefits

We also have several services available to us for significant discount (or free) when used for the purposes of our nonprofit. Chances are, if you need any online or technology resources in helping you communicate with or coordinate efforts in family history, engage in your community or teach others about our rich heritage, Zion Foundation likely has many tools that will help you.

As the Executive Director for Zion Foundation, I am happy to talk to anyone in the family to help assess these needs and what resources can be made available. Please contact me @traek or on Facebook Messenger.

Physically, but Not Socially Distant

We live in unprecedented times that have been shown in vision to prophets of the past for countless millennia. As exciting as it is seeing prophecy unfold before our very eyes, there are still many challenges that come for our loved ones, not the least of which is the threat of an extremely pervasive disease.

As we attempt to stay connected but physically distant with loved ones near and far, we have found some technology easier than others to deal with. Which app, which website or software is best to stay in touch with your family? You may have already found one that works for you. That’s the short answer. It’s great if you and your family have worked out an way you can all chat, text or video conference together.

If you haven’t found anything, yet, please read on:
