Pomparan
Preserve your Batak family genealogy — tarombo, marga, and Dalihan Na Tolu.
Tarombo — Family Tree
Record every generation — parents, children, siblings, and spouses — and trace your lineage back through time. Your tarombo, digitally preserved.
Panggilan — How to Address
Look up the correct Batak form of address between any two people in your family tree — tulang, namboru, bere, pariban, and more.
Pariban — Ideal Match
Check whether two people are pariban — the preferred marriage match in Batak tradition — and understand the kinship rules that apply.
Dalihan Na Tolu
The three-legged hearth stone — Dongan Sabutuha (clan brothers), Hula-hula (wife-givers), and Boru (wife-takers) — forms the social foundation of every Batak ceremony and relationship. Pomparan helps you understand where you and your family stand in this structure.
Keeping Batak Heritage Alive
Pomparan means "descendants" in Batak Toba. The Toba Batak trace their ancestry through the patrilineal marga system back to Si Raja Batak — a mythological ancestor said to have descended at Pusuk Buhit on the shores of Lake Toba. From his two sons, Guru Tatea Bulan and Raja Isumbaon, branched the lineages that became today's Toba marga clusters. The Karo, Pakpak, Simalungun, Mandailing, and Angkola Batak each maintain their own distinct origin stories, lineage systems, and tarombo — Pomparan starts with Toba and aims to support every sub-group over time. This app helps families document, share, and pass that living heritage on to those who come next.
