Birth, death, marriage, migration, and historical events — automatically pulled from your tree data and enriched with custom events you add — laid out chronologically so you can see the whole story at once.
See multiple family members' events on the same timeline. Watch how your grandparents' lives overlapped, how migrations clustered in certain decades, and how one generation's events shaped the next.
Birth, death, marriage, migration/move, life event, and historical context events — each with its own color and dot style. Migration is its own distinct category for tracking family movement across places. Historical events let you add context like "Great Migration wave 1915–1920" right alongside your ancestors' entries. Scan the timeline and instantly see when families moved, married, and ended.
Historical is a first-class event type you can add yourself. Drop in a note like "Great Migration wave 1915–1920" or "1882 Immigration Act signed" and it sits right on the timeline next to your ancestor's events. See the world they were living through, not as a separate reference — but woven into the same chronological view.
Birth, marriage, and death dates from every person profile feed the timeline automatically. Then you layer in the rest.
Every birth date, marriage date, and death date you've entered on a person's profile shows up on the timeline without any extra work. The baseline timeline is always up to date with your tree.
Tap the add button to open the event form. Choose a person (optional), enter a title, date or year, event type (Birth, Death, Marriage, Life Event, Migration/Move, or Historical), description, and location. Events appear on the timeline instantly.
Use the person dropdown to narrow the timeline to a single family member. See just their events in order — or zoom back out to the full combined view. Edit any event by tapping its card to reopen the form with pre-filled data.
See your family's history as it actually unfolded.
See every person's events on one shared timeline. Overlaps, patterns, and connections become visible immediately.
