questions
Good questions
Is it really free?
Yes. The free plan includes 2 trees with unlimited people, no ads and no trial clock. Paid plans (Pro and Family) add extras like PDF and printable exports.
Can I bring my tree from another site?
Yes. Export a file from Ancestry, FamilySearch or any other tool and drop it on your dashboard. We clean up missing parents, broken family records and date typos before you confirm.
Who can see my family's data?
Only people you invite. Public links automatically hide living people, and every plan can export a standard backup file so your data stays yours.
Do I need to sign up to look around?
No. Open any of the famous family trees, from the Tudors to Einstein, and explore them with no account.
