Free to start. No downloads, no experience needed.

Every family has stories worth keeping.

Names get forgotten. Old photographs lose their meaning. Stories that everyone once knew slowly disappear.

TreeTipi gives your family one beautiful online family tree to keep it all together.

You don't have to know everything.

Maybe Uncle Peter remembers your great-grandmother's maiden name. Mum has the old photographs. Your cousin knows where Grandad was born.

Invite your family and build your TreeTipi together.

Send them a private link and they can add the people, photos and stories they know.

  • Mum added a photo of Margaret
  • Daniel added Great-Grandad William
  • Sarah added a story

See how everyone connects.

Move around your family tree, zoom in on a branch or search for someone by name. Whether your tree has 12 people or 312, finding someone should feel easy.

  • Zoom in to see the people.
  • Search to find anyone.

Every name has a story.

A family tree shouldn't just tell you that Anna Müller lived from 1932–2018. It should help you remember Anna.

Portrait of Anna Müller

Anna Müller

1932–2018 · Cologne, Germany

Anna loved gardening, terrible jokes and making far too much food whenever the family came over.

Add photos, memories and the little details that make someone unforgettable.

Give old photographs their names back.

Who's that standing beside Grandma? Where was this taken? What was his name? Add old photographs to the people they belong to, so future generations won't have to wonder.

Questions about building your family tree

The things people ask before they add their first person.

Is TreeTipi really free?

Yes. You can create your account, start your family tree, add people, photos and stories and invite your family without paying anything. There is nothing to download and no credit card is needed to start.

How do I start a family tree?

Start with someone you know: yourself, a parent or a grandparent. Add their name, then add parents, partners, children and siblings. TreeTipi connects everyone for you as your tree grows.

Do I need to install genealogy software?

No. TreeTipi runs in the web browser on your phone, tablet or computer. Open the site, sign in and your family tree is there. Nothing to install or update.

Can my family build the tree with me?

Yes. Send a private invite link and your parents, siblings and cousins can add the people, photos and stories they know. Everyone works on the same tree, so nothing gets lost.

Can I add old photographs and stories to people?

Yes. Every person in your tree has their own page for photos, dates, places and memories, so an old photograph is finally attached to the name and the story it belongs to.

How many people can I add to my family tree?

As many as you know. Whether your tree has 12 people or 312, you can zoom out to see whole generations, zoom in on one branch or search for anyone by name.

Your family tree has already started.

You just need to add the first person.
