Find your way around the tree
Select a leaf, focus a branch, find someone, and return to the whole family.
Recorded with a sample family. AI-generated narration using Achernar. Your options depend on your role and family settings.
Let’s walk through it.
Meet your tree
Your family tree is a place to explore. Open Family Tree from the menu, then select a portrait or a leaf with initials. The selected person appears below the tree with buttons for their profile, memories, and family branch.
Explore one branch
Choose Focus branch to spend time with that part of the family. On a computer, you can also double-click a wooden branch. Use Back one branch to retrace your steps, or Whole family to bring everyone back into view.
Get a closer look
Use the plus and minus controls to change the size, and Fit tree to bring the tree into view. A large family may need scrolling. Generations and List View give you other ways to find someone when the branches feel crowded.
Open their story
Choose View Profile to visit a person, or Photos and videos to see their memories. Double-clicking a portrait opens that gallery too. On a phone, select the leaf and use the buttons. If someone was just added, try Refresh tree.
