Interactive family tree

A family tree that helps you discover your family history in a whole new way

Have you spent countless hours compiling your family history? It's time to show off all that hard work! Our online family tree system and Apple TV app will give you the ability to view, share, print & display your family history like never before. We believe a family tree should be more than names, places and dates. What about all the information behind each person that tells their story? Easily use your television, desktop, tablet or mobile device to "brighten" up your family tree.

Our "bright" idea can turn your family tree into an interactive digital piece of art. Captivate your audience while sharing your family history.

We offer a free companion app along with our family tree system. Our Bright Branches Apple TV App can be found in the Apple TV App Store. Click the icon below.

There is a one-time fee of $49 to import your Ancestry.com family tree or GEDCOM file. There are no monthly fees or other costs.
