Share your family tree

Share your family tree with a link.

Publish your tree as a link anyone can open, or embed it on your own website with one line of code. The people you send it to need no account and pay nothing.

Free to view. No account needed to look at your own tree.

How it works

  1. Upload your GEDCOM

    Export a .ged file from Ancestry, MyHeritage, FamilySearch, or any desktop program and drop it on viewfore. Your tree appears on the map and charts.

  2. Choose what visitors see

    People who may still be living are replaced with “Living” and their dates and places hidden. That is on by default. Add a password if you want only family to open it.

  3. Send the link, or embed it

    Copy a link for email, a group chat, or a family newsletter. Or paste one line of code into your own website and the whole tree appears there, map and all.

  • One person's places on the map: birth, marriage, death, and more
    Each lifeOne person's birth, marriage, death, and other recorded places on the map, in one view.

Embed it on your site

One line of code. It fits the width of your page, works on phones, and has an Expand button for a near-fullscreen view.

<script src="https://viewfore.com/embed.js" data-tree="YOUR-TREE-ID" async></script>

It works on WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, and any page where you can paste a script tag.

You stay in control

Living people hidden

Anyone likely to be alive is shown as “Living” with no dates or places. You can turn this off for a share meant only for close family.

Password if you want one

Set a password and visitors must enter it before the tree loads.

Switch it off any time

Pause or delete a share from your account. The link stops working right away. Your tree is never in a searchable database.

Free to view. Pay only to share.

Viewing your own tree is free forever. Sharing costs $7 for 30 days for one tree, or $39 a year to keep every tree you share live and embeddable. The people you share with never pay and never sign in.

Put your tree in front of your family.

Upload a GEDCOM to get started. Sharing takes one click once it loads.
