FamilySearch Tree

A family tree you can build with others

FamilySearch Tree is a genealogy app for people who want to trace relatives, organize family connections, and preserve the stories behind names and dates. It suits beginners starting with a few known relatives as well as experienced researchers working across several branches. Instead of keeping your research in a private file, the app connects it to a shared family tree that other relatives may already have contributed to.

Useful when the research gets difficult

The app can help you search historical records such as birth, marriage, and death documents, with record suggestions pointing you toward possible matches. That makes it easier to move beyond family information you already know. A tree view gives you a practical way to move between generations, while details attached to individual relatives keep dates, places, and relationships together.

More than names and dates

Family history is easier to remember when it includes the people themselves. FamilySearch Tree lets you preserve photos, written memories, and audio recordings alongside genealogical information. Location details and maps can also add context to an ancestor’s life, showing where important events happened and how a family moved over time. Collaboration tools are useful when several people are researching the same line or need to compare conflicting information.

Why it earns a place on your phone

FamilySearch International develops the app, which sits in the Books & Reference category and has passed 10,000,000 installs. Its rating is about 4.45 from 52,020 reviews, a strong signal that the shared-tree approach works for a broad audience. Choose it if you want a central place for genealogy research and family memories, especially when you would rather discover existing work than start every branch from scratch.
