Upload your family tree and see generations spread out around you like a galaxy. Follow a bloodline back three hundred years, find where everyone lived, and share the wonder with the people it belongs to.
Works with your GEDCOM from Ancestry, MyHeritage, Findmypast and more. No card needed.
The same tree, seen four ways. Move between them in a click, and wherever you go, the person you're looking at comes with you.
Your whole tree in 3D. The home person sits at the centre, each generation of ancestors forms a ring further out, and gold threads trace your direct line. Cousins, aunts and in-laws gather around the ancestors they descend from.
The familiar family-tree chart, done properly. Switch between ancestors and descendants, choose how many generations to show, and click any card to step to that person.
See where your family was born and where they died. Bigger circles mean more of your family. Turn on moves to see who left home, and how far they went.
Watch your family arrive through time. Each ancestor rises as a light in the year they were born, couples drift together, and when someone dies their star joins a heart that fills over the centuries — until you're born at the centre.

Open the galaxy. Search for anyone, follow your bloodline, and see where it all began.
Family trees are full of names, dates and places of people you love. We treat them that way.
GEDCOM is the standard file format for family trees. Almost every family history website and program can export one. It's a plain text file ending in .ged that lists people and how they're related. It doesn't include your photos.
From wherever your tree lives now — Ancestry, MyHeritage, Findmypast, RootsMagic, Family Tree Maker, Gramps and others all have an export option. Our step-by-step guide shows you where to find it.
Yes. Creating an account, uploading your tree and using all four views is free. A paid plan for photos is coming later, and it will be optional.
Only you, when you're signed in. Your tree isn't public, isn't searchable, and isn't shared with other users or with genealogy companies. We don't sell or rent your data.
No — Family Galaxy is for viewing. Keep making changes in your usual family tree software or website, then export a fresh GEDCOM and upload it again. The new upload replaces the old one.
