Put a free tool on your own website

Put the free GEDCOM viewer, the GEDCOM checker or the sheet of twenty questions to ask your parents on the website of your society, library or blog. You paste one line of code, your visitors use the tool on your page, and it costs nothing.

Who it is for

For genealogy societies, local history circles, libraries, archives and bloggers who want to give their members or readers a useful tool without building or maintaining anything themselves.

Your visitors and their data

  • A GEDCOM file is read in the visitor's own browser. It is not uploaded and never leaves the device.
  • The widget sets no cookies and has no advertising or trackers.
  • We only count how often a widget is loaded and on which website (the domain name), with nothing about the visitor.
  • No account and no sign-up, for you or for your visitors.

How to add it

  1. Choose the tool and the language below.
  2. Copy the code with the button.
  3. Paste the code on your page, in a place that accepts HTML. In WordPress that is a Custom HTML block.

If your website does not allow scripts, use the iframe code instead. It has a fixed height and scrolls inside.

Questions people ask

Does it cost anything?

No. The tool and the code are free, for you and for your visitors. No account is needed.

Are my visitors' family tree files sent anywhere?

No. The GEDCOM viewer and the GEDCOM checker read the file in the visitor's browser. The file is not uploaded and nothing is stored.

Does the widget set cookies?

No. The widget sets no cookies and shows no cookie notice. We only count how often it is loaded and on which website, without any data about the visitor.

May I remove the credit line or the link?

No. The credit line in the widget and the link below it are part of the free terms. The width adapts to the space on your page.

Will it work on my website?

On any site where you can paste HTML, such as WordPress (Custom HTML block) or a site you built yourself. Some website builders do not allow scripts: use the iframe code there.
