Most family trees sit inside a single desktop file that only one relative can open, but GeneWeb publishes the whole tree on the web as an interactive site the entire family can browse and grow together. One lightweight server hosts as many genealogical databases as you like, and every page is generated on demand from the data itself, so edits appear instantly without rebuilding static files. Each person page gathers births, marriages, deaths, and other events with exact dates, witnesses, notes, and sources, giving every fact in the tree a documented trail back to its evidence. Trees arrive and leave in the standard GEDCOM format or in GeneWeb's own compact format, and details that do not fit the import land safely in notes instead of being discarded. The built-in relationship calculator traces the exact link between any two people in the database, even through billions of possible paths, and its consanguinity rates reveal how closely related spouses really were. Searching follows real research habits: names match across spelling variations, women are found by their maiden names, and nobility titles appear on a chronological timeline. Privacy comes built in through password accounts: friends can view private data, wizards can edit it, and visibility rules can hide everyone born within the last hundred years automatically.

webtrees turns a GEDCOM family file into a private, collaborative genealogy website where relatives anywhere browse ancestors, add photos and sources, and edit together under privacy rules the owner controls. Import a file and each person gets a page of facts, events, and citations, with tabs for families, sources, places, media, and albums and a navigator that jumps to parents, spouses, children, and siblings. Pedigree, fan, hourglass, compact, descendant, interactive, lifespan, relationship, and timeline charts show the same people from different angles, and a pedigree map plots ancestors' birthplaces on OpenStreetMap. Lists sort and filter individuals, families, sources, notes, repositories, and media, with branches that group people by surname. A calendar surfaces births, deaths, marriages, and anniversaries for any day, month, or year, in Gregorian, Julian, Jewish, Hijri, or Jalali dates. Printable PDF reports cover Ahnentafel, family group, descendancy, birth, death, and cemetery records, and search offers general, advanced, and search-and-replace modes for authorized users. Privacy rules apply per site, tree, user, record, and fact, so only authorized users see living people and sensitive details. Editors propose changes, moderators approve them, one site hosts several trees, and the interface comes in more than 60 languages. GEDCOM export lets every tree move to desktop genealogy programs.

Genealogy turns scattered family records into a living, browsable family tree that relatives can explore together and keep growing. Each person gets a full profile with parents, partners, children, and siblings, and couples are first-class records too, so remarriages, separations, and blended families are represented honestly instead of being forced into a single marriage box. Photos can be uploaded in batches, watermarked, and browsed in a carousel on the profile, while documents attach the scans and certificates that back up each fact. Events build a timeline overview for every person, so births, marriages, moves, and milestones read as a story rather than a spreadsheet. Several branches can live side by side: separate trees are organized as teams with owners, managers, editors, and read-only members, ownership can be transferred, and invitations keep research private to the family. Personal settings follow each user, including language, timezone, and a light or dark theme on any screen size. A built-in backup manager runs manual or scheduled daily backups with cleanup and email confirmation, and a log viewer surfaces slow queries and errors before they surprise you.
