How to Create a Family Tree Online with Photos and Videos

Start with a clear plan

Gather names, dates, and places before opening the family tree builder. Kunbaa’s guided prompts feel like free genealogy tools for beginners, but with the structure you need later for exports.

How to create a family tree online (fast track)

• Set up your family tree maker app workspace and choose whether to import GEDCOM or start manually.
• Add yourself, parents, and grandparents, then connect siblings to keep the relationship graph tidy.
• Use the family tree app with photo sharing to drop in albums, voice notes, and Living Portraits per person.
• Mark approximated dates and add locations so digital genealogy records stay useful for future searches.
• Share the tree with cousins to connect with relatives online — no public profiles required.

Add media without chaos

Think of Kunbaa as a family album creator online and a family scrapbooking app at once. Timeline + map views let you explore family lineage mapping while seeing the photos, videos, and transcripts tied to each moment.

Pro tips for accuracy and sharing

• Keep a short note on sources for every fact, even if it’s just “phone call with grandma.”
• Use tags for migration routes, languages, or households — your genealogy search tool will surface them later.
• Send a digest to elders via the family communication platform so they can review without navigating a new app.
• Export snapshots regularly so your online genealogy platform always has a clean backup.
• Publish selective highlights to circles; keep sensitive branches in your private family albums.
