Family Tree Visualization Tool

Paste, upload, or edit a consented family tree JSON and render it as a visual family tree (with partner/spouse support), similar to a traditional pedigree chart.

Important: Only use consented data from family members. This tool is designed for Tamil family trees with cultural kinship terms and ancestral village information.

New to this? Start with the “Simple couple + children” template, or read the Tamil family tree guide before you paste your real data.

Tamil Family Tree Considerations

When creating Tamil family trees, it's important to consider the unique aspects of Tamil culture and naming conventions. Tamil names often include kinship terms like "Achi" (grandmother), "Mama" (uncle), or "Akka" (elder sister), which reflect the close-knit nature of Tamil family structures.

Traditional Tamil families often have connections to specific ancestral villages (oor),temple towns, and regional communities that are important to document. These geographical and cultural connections form an integral part of Tamil identity that extends beyond individual family members.

Cultural Elements to Include

  • Place names in Tamil script and Romanized form
  • Traditional occupations that may have become surnames
  • Temple connections and religious practices
  • Migration patterns between regions or countries
  • Language variations across different Tamil regions

Documenting these elements helps preserve the rich cultural heritage that defines Tamil families across generations and geographical boundaries.
