Focus on a person
The tree lays out around the chosen person: ancestors above, descendants below, with generations you can expand up or down.
A tree of generations
Your family tree online
Build your family tree from the earliest ancestors to today. Click anyone and the tree rearranges itself around them.
Direct line or whole family
Switch between the direct blood line and the whole family, with siblings and spouses.
Marriages and life years
Spouses are joined by their own line with the marriage date, and life years show on every card.
Photos and documents
Add a portrait, photos and document scans to anyone: JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF or PDF up to 10 MB.
Unlinked records
People with no family links — witnesses, namesakes — are not lost: they wait in a separate list until you link them.
Questions and answers
Can I start from scratch?
Yes. Create a tree, add the first person, then add parents, spouses and children right from their profile. Or import an existing GEDCOM.
How do I enter uncertain dates?
Write them as they are: “1825”, “ABT 1825”, “22 SEP 1850”, “before 1900”. Rodoteka keeps the text as written and works out the year for sorting.
Does the tree work on a phone?
Yes, the tree and person profiles are built for mobile screens.
