The Roots We Leave
You are not a single story.
You are a branch on a tree that stretches
further than memory — back to names
no one alive still speaks.
Plant your branch. Let those who come after
know where they began.
Add a Person
Start with yourself, then add parents, grandparents, children. Each person attaches to someone already in the tree. Leave parent blank to create a new root.
Your Family Tree
Click any node to see details. Drag to pan, scroll to zoom. Your tree grows as you add people.
How It Works
Start with yourself
Enter your name and click "Add to Tree." This creates the root of your family tree.
Add family members
Enter a name, then choose a parent from the dropdown to attach them. Add your parents, grandparents, children — each one connects to the tree.
Explore the tree
Click any node to see the person's name and birth year. Drag the canvas to move around. Use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out.
