Everything you can do with RootsPrint
A free, private family tree maker that does more than draw boxes and lines. Here's what each tool does - and a quick example of it in action.
Relationship calculator
Pick any two people and RootsPrint names the exact kinship between them - no more puzzling it out by hand.
Example: Select your grandmother and your cousin → "first cousins once removed."
Family statistics
An instant, read-only summary of your tree - counts, generations, living vs. deceased, and standout relatives - with links back to the chart.
Example: See "6 people, 3 generations, most children: Dad (2)" at a glance.
Instant search
Type a name and jump straight to anyone on the chart. Invaluable once a tree grows to dozens or hundreds of people.
Example: Type "mar" → jump to Maria, Marco or Margaret in one tap.
Data-quality checks
A gentle, non-blocking validator flags plausibility issues and shows a badge with the count. Every warning links to the person so you can fix or ignore it.
Example: Catches "child born before a parent" or an impossible birth/death date.
Focus filter
Narrow the chart to one person’s ancestors, descendants, or immediate family to concentrate on a single branch - without deleting a thing.
Example: Focus on "descendants of Grandpa" to trace one line at a time.
Beautiful, shareable output
Pick a focused view - one person’s close family, ancestors, descendants, or direct line - and export a readable PDF (the paper size fits itself), a high-resolution PNG to share, or a multi-page family Book.
Example: Export "My direct line" as an A4 PDF, or a whole-family Book to print and pass down.
GEDCOM & JSON import/export
Move your data in and out freely. Import standard GEDCOM files from other genealogy software, or JSON exported here - and export the same way to keep a backup.
Example: Import a GEDCOM from Ancestry, keep refining it privately here.
100% private, no account
No sign-up, no cloud. Your family data is stored only in your own browser and never leaves your device.
Example: Build a full tree without ever creating an account or logging in.
Edit with confidence
Full undo/redo, quick renaming, and optional per-person notes let you experiment and correct freely as your research evolves.
Example: Add a note "adopted, 1975" and undo any change with one click.
