Know Your Roots
Knowing your roots, where you came from and where you're headed to, is important — both to remember those who paved the way for you, and for those who come after you, for whom you are paving a way forward.

What you can do
Built for real families — in whatever language you speak, across however many generations you need.
An interactive tree you can pan, zoom, and expand generation by generation — with photos where you have them, and a simple silhouette where you don't.
Give anyone a name in their own language and in English. A one-tap toggle switches the whole tree between them.
Invite relatives as viewers to browse, or as editors to help fill in names, photos, and generations you might not know yourself.
Search across a large tree and jump straight to the person you're looking for, with the path to them opened automatically.
How it works
Looking to view a family that's already on ViewMyRoots, or starting a brand new tree of your own — either way, we'll point you in the right direction.
A quick verification keeps every family's tree private to the people who actually belong there.
Once you're verified, our team is notified and reaches out to connect you with your family's tree, or help you start one.
Explore a sample family — several generations, real interactions, no account needed.
