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.
