Build your family tree as a living, interactive graph. Zoom in on any branch, trace any connection, and cite every source — from birth certificates to parish registers.
Your family is a web of relationships: marriages, adoptions, step-siblings, godparents. histor.ee models all of them as first-class connections you can see, click, and explore.
Link every person and connection back to a birth certificate, census record, parish register, or family Bible. Your tree is only as strong as its evidence.
Mark connections as certain, probable, possible, or uncertain — because honest genealogy means showing what you know and what you’re still piecing together.
Create entities for anyone and anything in your research. A person, a parish church, a shipping company — if it matters to the story, it belongs in the graph.
Link entities with typed relationships: parent–child, spouse, sibling, associate, resident. Each connection carries its own label, date range, and confidence level.
Every entity and every connection can hold references — a URL, a document type, a transcription, and a fidelity rating. When you revisit your research in six months, you’ll know exactly where each fact came from.
Genealogy research accumulates fast. After a few hours on Find My Past or at the county archives, you’ve got dozens of facts and no clear record of where each one came from.
histor.ee’s reference system lets you attach sources directly to entities and connections. Each reference carries a type (birth certificate, census, will, photograph, oral history), an optional URL, a free-text detail field, and a fidelity rating — so you can distinguish a verified parish record from a family rumour your aunt mentioned at Christmas.
When you come back to your research weeks or months later, every claim in your graph has a paper trail.
histor.ee works with any kind of entity-relationship data. The data model is generic — people, places, organisations, and the connections between them.
Organise data from Find My Past, Ancestry, FamilySearch, and parish records into one visual workspace.
Trace ownership chains across deeds, wills, and court records. See who owned what, when, and how it transferred.
Map relationships between historical figures, organisations, and events for academic research or personal curiosity.
