Family tree
Know the people behind the names.
Build the relationships you know, then connect each person to memories, photographs and records. Your tree becomes a way into your family’s history.
More than one way to find your way
Use Tree to see family connections, People to browse an index, or Orbit to explore around a person. Change your perspective and follow relationships across the family.
A person’s profile brings their details, memories and records together. You can begin with a few people and add more as you learn.
Try the fictional Rossi family tree →Make room for the family you know
Add parents, children and partners, including biological, adoptive, step and guardian relationships. Record what you know and leave room for missing details.
Share the archive with invited family members. Viewers can explore; editors can also add and change family material. Owners manage access.
Can I bring an existing tree?
Our Story supports GEDCOM import and export for family tree data. Keep a copy of your original file and check the imported people, dates and relationships before relying on them.
GEDCOM transfers are limited: not every tag, source, media attachment or relationship detail from another genealogy application is preserved. Import adds people; it does not automatically merge them with existing profiles.
A GEDCOM file is not a full archive backup. Owners can separately request a ZIP export of the family archive, including uploaded originals.
Start with a GEDCOM file →What does Our Story help me research?
It organizes the family material you bring: people, memories, documents and citations. It does not provide DNA matching or a subscription search library of external historical records.
