Make a family tree online, free and without signing up
Press “Start a new tree”, write your own name, then add your parents, grandparents, children — one card at a time. Your tree stays in this browser while you work, and you can save it as a file whenever you like.
How it works
Every person has a card with their names, sex, dates and places of birth, death and burial, occupation, marriages, a note and a photo. From any card you add a father, mother, spouse or child, and they are linked into the right family automatically — a new mother joins the family of the father already there, a child joins the marriage. People not yet connected to anyone can be added too and linked later.
Nothing to sign up for
There is no account and no server: the tree lives in this browser while you build it and comes back if you close the tab. To keep it for good, or to move it to another computer, save it as a GEDCOM file — the format Ancestry, MyHeritage, FamilySearch and every genealogy program import.
What you can make from it
Ancestor, descendant, fan, hourglass and all-relatives charts with photos, in three styles, to print at any size; a family history book as PDF or Word; a spreadsheet or a web page to send to relatives.
Questions
- Is my tree private?
- Yes. Nothing is sent anywhere. The working copy is kept only in this browser on this computer, and clearing the browser’s site data removes it — so save it as a file.
- Can I continue a tree from another site?
- Yes: download it as GEDCOM there and drop the file here. See how to download a GEDCOM from Ancestry.
- I just want a blank chart to fill in by hand.
- Use a printable family tree template.
