Getting Started
From your first search to deeper research — here is what to expect when you explore the world's largest collaborative family tree.
01
Enter a surname on the home page to see how your line may already connect to work submitted by others. Results help you jump into matching branches faster than starting from scratch.
02
Navigate ancestors and relatives in an interactive view. Pan, zoom, and open details to see vitals, places, and how individuals link across generations.
03
When you find gaps or conflicts, add or edit information using structured genealogy fields — so hints, merges, and matches stay consistent over time.
04
Maps, statistics, and research workflows help you see migration patterns, spot missing facts, and prioritize what to verify next.
