Tools for your family history
Family trees
Explore relatives on a tree you can move and zoom, or view ancestors and descendants in other layouts.
Private, shared your way
Invite people as editors, family or guests; guests see a privacy-filtered view of the tree.
Import and export
Import GEDCOM or Gramps. Export everything in 1 click from your tree settings, as GEDCOM, Gramps or a ZIP with every photo and document, and download it when ready.
Charts
Explore fan charts, relationship graphs and lists of ancestors and descendants.
Relationships and cousins
See how people are related and find cousins by degree.
Timelines and life stories
Follow a person's life alongside family events and read a life story made from the tree's data.
Places and maps
Map family events and explore places and addresses with their notes, photos and residents.
Photo library
Organise portraits, scans and documents in albums and find possible duplicate photos.
