Free to start. No credit card. Your tree stays yours, always.

“We are the stories we keep. Keep them somewhere worthy.”

Bring everything with you

Your whole family — imported in seconds.

Drop a GEDCOM export from MyHeritage, Ancestry or FamilySearch and every person, date, place, marriage and note arrives intact. A 2,000-relative tree lands in about five seconds.

And it doesn't arrive as a wall of names — it arrives alive: every relative already placed, faces on their cards, ready to explore the moment the upload finishes. Bring your photos along and we match them back to the right people, so the family you spent years building greets you whole on day one. A free, complete export is always one click back out. No lock-in, ever.

A tree worth framing

See your lineage as art.

Pan and zoom a buttery-smooth tree, then switch between family, pedigree, fan and list views — each revealing something the others hide. Faces on every card, generation by generation.

Center on anyone and the whole tree re-roots around them in a heartbeat. A thousand relatives glide under your fingertip without a stutter — effortless on a phone, breathtaking thrown up on a wall. It's the difference between reading your family in a spreadsheet and finally seeing it.

The first time your whole lineage opens out in front of you, it lands somewhere a list of names never reaches.

A home worth sharing

Give your dynasty an address.

Publish a stunning family page at yourname.dynasty.house — complete with an AI-designed family crest, your own motto, and the countries your line came from. Living relatives stay private automatically; only those who have passed take their place among the roots.

It becomes the page you actually want to send — a real address for a wedding invitation, a memorial card, a family newsletter. Drop an embeddable emblem on any website and every share quietly invites the next cousin in. Search engines find it, a distant relative recognizes the surname, and a family scattered across continents discovers it has a front door again.

This is how families find each other — not through a database, but through a doorway.

One family · many homes

The family tree that grows while you sleep.

Every relative gets their own House — a branded view onto one shared, canonical family tree. Step in and your dynasty is already there, already beautiful: generations of work the whole family has done, waiting for you, with nothing to set up.

It's git for your family — every ancestor stored once, never copied, never siloed. So when a cousin in Sydney adds her grandmother tonight, your tree is deeper by morning. The more of you who tend it, the wiser it grows — every memory, photo and date compounding into one living record that honors those who came before, more richly all the time.

The same tree, a home for every branch. No more five cousins rebuilding it five times in five locked apps.

How the living tree works →

A keepsake to print

Proof of where you come from.

Pick any ancestor — a great-great-grandmother, a distant cousin, even a medieval forebear — and Dynasty House draws the unbroken line of descent all the way down to you, named and dated, on a certificate you can print and frame.

It reads like a sentence you can feel: the exact chain of people who had to meet, marry and carry on, in this order, for you to exist. The most natural thing in the world to text a cousin — and every print quietly carries dynasty.house.

For the AI era · Developer API

Let an AI do the digging. Keep the treasure here.

Soon everyone will have a tireless genealogist in their pocket. The hard part won't be finding ancestors — it'll be having somewhere worthy to keep them. Point Claude or any agent at our open API and it writes what it finds straight into your tree, where it's rendered beautifully, kept private, and shared with the whole family from one link.

You bring the research; we are the home and the gallery. Your data stays yours — one-click GEDCOM export, always.

The time wheel

Turn the years and watch your family breathe.

Drag the golden year dial and the whole tree responds: ancestors appear as they're born, fade as they pass, and a quiet count tells you how many of your people walked the earth in any given year. Tap a single soul and their life unfolds beside the tree — every birth, marriage, child and farewell, woven into a timeline automatically from the dates you already have.

A small, strange joy. We hadn't seen it anywhere else either.

Deep roots

Trace your blood to the Ice Age.

Already have a DNA test? Bring your raw file from 23andMe, AncestryDNA or MyHeritage and we'll trace your maternal and paternal lines back tens of thousands of years — past Rome, past the Beaker folk, to a single distinct branch that is yours. Watch the journey unfold on a turning globe, step by step.

Read entirely in your own browser. Your raw DNA never leaves your device — we keep only the story.

New · Living Portraits

Watch them smile again.

Bring a cherished old photograph gently to life — a soft breath, a slow blink, the faintest smile. One tap on any ancestor's page turns a still, fading face into a living memory you can sit with.

It's uncanny how much returns in those few seconds — the exact tilt of a grandfather's chin, a great-aunt's almost-laugh. A face you only ever knew as flat sepia stillness becomes someone who was here, who breathed, who looked back at the camera and, now, at you.

A breathtaking minute. The kind of thing that makes a grandparent cry — in the best way.

The tree ransom ends here

Other sites lock your ancestors behind a paywall the moment you stop paying.

Let your subscription lapse elsewhere and your tree of 250+ people goes read-only — your grandmother's photos, your years of research, held until you pay again. We think that's a disgraceful way to treat someone's family. So we built the opposite.

A tree worth framing

An heirloom-beautiful, buttery-smooth tree you can pan, zoom and edit in place — designed to be shown off at the family reunion, not squinted at in a spreadsheet.

A house address

yourname.dynasty.house — a permanent address for your family. Share it with cousins, print it on the reunion invitation, pass it down.

AI that does the tedium

Coming fast: AI hints that spot duplicate people, suggest record matches, and turn your dates-and-places into written family stories. The research stays yours; the drudgery doesn't.

Plays well with others

FamilySearch links, DNA file upload (23andMe, AncestryDNA) and source citations are on the roadmap — your data connects outward, never gets trapped inward.
