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 help beginners add close relatives with clear structure.

How to create a family tree online (fast track)

• Set up your family tree maker app workspace and start with close relatives manually.
• Add yourself, parents, and grandparents, then connect siblings to keep the relationship graph tidy.
• Give each person a profile photo — a face turns a name into someone relatives recognise.
• Mark approximated dates and add places and notes so family records stay useful later.
• Invite cousins to the private family space 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. Memory Lane keeps photos, videos, documents, and audio in one private, chronological archive, and each person in the tree carries their own profile photo, dates and notes.

Pro tips for accuracy and sharing

• Keep a short note on sources for every fact, even if it’s just “phone call with grandma.”
• Write migration routes, languages, and household details into each person’s notes field so the context sits with the person it belongs to.
• Upload the albums and voice recordings to Memory Lane with captions naming who, where and when.
• Keep an offline copy of your source photos and notes so you always have a backup of the originals.
• Invite the relatives who hold the answers — a shared tree gets corrected far faster than a private file.
