Getting started is easier than you think.
Building a family tree for the first time can feel overwhelming โ where do you begin? Who do you add first? How many generations should you include? This guide walks you through the process step by step.
Step 1: Start with yourself
The easiest place to start is with yourself as the root, then work outward. Add your parents, then their parents, then your children and siblings. You do not need to know everyone โ leave fields blank and come back later.
Step 2: Add photos
Photos bring your tree to life. Even old scanned photos are perfect. Each member can have a profile photo plus a full photo gallery.
Step 3: Share with family
Once you have 10-20 members, share the link on WhatsApp with your family. You will be amazed how many relatives volunteer corrections, additions and old photos once they see it.
