Build your family tree,
one relative at a time
Blaadline makes it easy to map parents, spouses, and children into a clean, shareable chart — then keep every version safe in your account.
Three steps to a finished tree
Add people
Start from yourself and add parents, spouses, and children with a click.
Connect generations
Link relatives, handle multiple spouses, and watch the tree lay itself out.
Share & print
Keep it private to your account, then export a clean, print-ready chart.
Everything you need to keep the record
Multiple spouses
Model real families — remarriages and blended households render correctly.
GEDCOM import
Bring an existing genealogy file and pick up where you left off.
Print-ready output
Generate a polished chart sized for framing or archiving.
Private by default
Your trees are tied to your account and visible only to you until you choose to share one.
Built for real family histories
Most tools assume a neat, linear family. Blaadline doesn't. It handles the messy, human shape of real lineages — and keeps the whole picture readable as it grows across generations.
Every kind of family
Remarriages, multiple spouses, half-siblings, and blended households all lay out cleanly — not just tidy nuclear families.
Unlimited generations
Go as far back and as far forward as your research reaches. The whole connected tree stays visible as you move around it.
Link, don't duplicate
Adding a relative who's already in the tree? Search and connect the existing person instead of creating a copy.
Undo, redo, autosave
Every change is saved to your account automatically, with full undo/redo while you build.

Read guideQuestions, answered
- Can I import my tree from Ancestry or FamilySearch?
- Yes. Export a GEDCOM (.ged) file from Ancestry, FamilySearch, MyHeritage, FamilyEcho, or most genealogy tools, and import it when you create a tree or from the builder.
- Who can see my family tree?
- Only you. Trees are tied to your account and are private by default — nothing is readable by anyone else until you publish it yourself.
- Do I need to install anything?
- No. Blaadline runs entirely in your browser. You can start building without an account at all; sign up with an email and password, or with Google, when you want to save it.
- Can I keep more than one tree?
- Yes. Create as many separate family trees as you like and switch between them from your dashboard.
