The Reading Room

Get started

Start with the tree you have already built.

Ancestry, FamilySearch, MyHeritage, Legacy, RootsMagic — they all export the same kind of file. Nothing to re-enter, and nothing to install.

Put your family tree here

Export it from your genealogy program — look for “Export” or “GEDCOM” in the menu — then drag the file onto this box. It usually ends in .ged.

Your file is read here on your own computer, so you can see what is in it before anything is sent. Keeping it is your choice, and needs an account.

Or have a look at someone else’s first

Published family trees you can open right now, if you would rather see how it works before bringing your own.
