Start for free

Create and fill your tree in a few steps

A step-by-step wizard helps you build a family genealogical tree: add yourself, parents, spouses, and children. Filling in the tree takes minutes — dates, biographies, and photos are stored in one database.

Getting started

Online database and ancestry table

All data is stored in a cloud genealogy database: relatives, relationships, photos, and events. The table view is handy for quick edits, while the interactive tree is ideal for visualizing branches.

How it works

Visualization templates and tree models

Built-in display templates show your genealogical tree as an interactive pedigree: generations, marriages, and descendants on one chart. GEDCOM export lets you move your ancestry between programs.
