How to Share Your Family Tree with Family

The problem with sharing from Ancestry or MyHeritage

Most genealogy platforms make it hard to share your research with family members who don't have accounts. Your relatives shouldn't need to sign up for a subscription just to see their own family tree.

Common frustrations:

• Recipients need to create an account
• The tree viewer is complex and overwhelming for non-genealogists
• It doesn't work well on phones (where grandma is looking)
• The design looks functional, not beautiful — not something you'd be proud to share

The better way: A standalone family website

Imagine sending your family a link to a beautiful, interactive website where they can:

• Explore an interactive tree — zoom, pan, click on any person
• Browse a timeline — see all births, marriages, and events in chronological order
• View a migration map — see where your family lived across the world
• Read about each person — dates, places, relationships at a glance

No app to install. No account to create. Works perfectly on phones, tablets, and desktops. Just open the link and start exploring.

How to do it in 3 steps

1. Export your tree as a GEDCOM file from your genealogy program
2. Upload it to PublishMyTree — your tree renders in seconds
3. Share the link — send it to your family group chat, email, or social media

Perfect for family reunions

Planning a family gathering? A family tree website makes a perfect centerpiece. Display it on a TV at the reunion, share the link in advance so everyone can explore their branch, or print it as a poster to hang on the wall.
