How it works

Three simple steps.

  1. Upload a GEDCOM

    Export a .ged file from Ancestry, MyHeritage, FamilySearch, or any genealogy app. Drop it on the page. Nothing to install.

  2. View your tree

    See your whole tree four ways: a map, a pedigree chart, a fan chart, and a lifespan view. Every person in your file, never capped.

  3. Share it

    Share your tree as a link anyone can open, or embed it on your website with one line of code. Password-protect it or hide living people if you like.

Privacy

What happens to your file.

When you upload

Your file is read on our server to work out places, dates, and relationships, streamed back to your browser, and discarded. Places are matched against our own copy of public geographic data, so your tree is never sent to an outside service. We never build a searchable database of the people in your tree.

If you choose to save or share

The only trees we keep are the ones you save or share from your own account, as your original file. A saved tree is visible only to you. A shared link can be password-protected and switches off when you say. Living people are hidden on public shares by default, on the server. Shared trees are kept out of search engines. Delete a tree, or your whole account, whenever you like.

A public link is public. Everything above is there so you decide who sees what. Read the full privacy policy.

What you'll see

One file. Five views.

Everything below uses the built-in example, a fictional family of about 850 people. Click to try it yourself.

The origins map: every birthplace in the example family pinned and clustered across Europe and North America
Plate I · The Origins Map

Every birthplace on the map

Your whole file lands on a real map. Birthplaces show by default, with death and marriage places a click away. Click any pin to see everyone born there, then move from person to person.

  • A timeline plays through the years, one year at a time.
  • People with no recorded birthplace get an estimated country, marked as an estimate.
The pedigree chart centred on Philip V, with his vitals card listing parents, siblings, spouses and child
Plate II · The Pedigree

Move through the whole tree

Click anyone to center the chart on them. You see their card, their closest relatives, and a line tracing their ancestors and descendants. Expand a family and the chart grows in place.

  • Every blood relative is named, even a “7th cousin twice removed.”
  • Five layouts, from a tidy tree to a click-to-explore mode.
The fan chart: Philip V at the centre with five generations of ancestors radiating outward in rings
Plate III · The Fan

Five generations at once

A round pedigree with you at the center and your parents and grandparents fanning outward. Click any ancestor to recenter the fan on them. Widen the sweep, add rings, and go as deep as your records allow.

  • Hover any ancestor to see how they relate to the person at the center.
  • Names curve along the rings, so every generation stays readable.
The lifespan view: each family member as a bar from birth to death on one shared axis of years, banded by generation
Plate IV · The Lifespans

See who lived at the same time

Every life is a bar on one shared axis of years, grouped by generation. You can see who overlapped, like a great-grandmother and a grandchild, and who never met at all.

  • Ancestors sit above, descendants below, each generation in its own band.
  • Each bar carries the person’s relationship to the center, like “great-aunt.”
The insights page: hero totals for the example family, a births-by-period chart, age-at-death chart, and ledgers of the top surnames and birthplaces
Plate V · The Almanac

Your tree by the numbers

One page of totals and charts for the whole file: how many people, how many generations, and how many years it spans. Births by period, age at death, average lifespan, and age at first marriage.

  • Ledgers of the most common surnames and birthplaces.
  • Click a record holder, like the longest-lived person, to open their card.
