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
