Question/answer » How do I share my family tree with my family?

Family members often ask: "How exactly does grandpa's family fit together?" A family tree on paper or in a file is hard to share. On Genealogy Online you simply send one link. Everyone can then have a look themselves, on the computer, the tablet or the phone.

What does your family see?

All deceased ancestors, with dates, places and sources. Photos and scans you have added. A pedigree chart and a family tree as a picture. And the stories you write about them. Visitors can click from person to person and discover the family that way.

And privacy?

Data of living persons is not shown by default. So your family only sees the ancestors who have died. Do you want your family to see the living persons too? With a Plus subscription you set up an access gate. You invite family members by e-mail. They log in with their own password and then see the private part. For them this is free.

Something tangible to give

  • A pedigree chart on A3 as a poster, with the Pedigree PDF Wizard.
  • A printed book of your family tree, via the link with Patronomia.
  • Stories about the family, which you place with your publication. See examples on the page Stories.

Family helps out

Anyone who looks at your family tree often sees something you did not know. An aunt still remembers a name, a cousin has an old photo. They send it to you via the contact form of your publication. That is how your family tree grows.
