TreeLab

See Your Whole Family Tree in a New Light

Upload your GEDCOM to visualize timelines, migration paths, lifespan patterns, and research gaps across your entire tree.

Built for genealogists who want to see patterns traditional trees miss.

The tool

From a Flat File to a Living Story

Most family trees are stored as a GEDCOM file, a giant list of names and dates. TreeLab reads that file and turns it into interactive visualizations that reveal connections you’d never spot in a list: migration paths, generational lifespans, naming patterns, and the records still missing from your tree.

  • Your GEDCOM file is parsed in your browser and never uploaded
  • No account required to explore, no data selling, no ads
  • Create a free account only if you want to save up to 3 trees, set a home person, and sync across devices
  • Works with files from Ancestry, MyHeritage, RootsMagic & more
