The automated tree builder will guide you along. You’ll start by adding your parents and grandparents. Don’t worry—all information about living people is kept private.

Step 3:
The worldwide community family tree will fuel new family discoveries. As your tree grows, you’ll learn more about your family and feel a closer connection to the past.
Harness the power of a worldwide, crowd-sourced pedigree to discover your family story.
Those who start a Family Tree on FamilySearch aren't just piecing together their family story—they're contributing to the creation of a global, unified family tree for mankind.
FamilySearch's shared tree has one public profile per deceased individual, creating a single place for all shared information instead of dispersing it across multiple trees. This also increases privacy.
Once you add a deceased relative to the tree, FamilySearch will try to connect you to any information it has about that person in its database. If it finds a match, FamilySearch can auto populate information, saving you a lot of time!
FamilySearch Family Tree enables all descendants to share information that others might not know and add sources to confirm correct information. The overall result of a well-sourced shared tree can be much more complete and accurate than individual trees.
