Start Your Own Family Tree — Free

Anyone can start a family tree here. Add yourself, your parents, grandparents and children — male, female, or not revealed — and watch your tree grow. Your tree is saved privately in your own browser — nobody else can see it — and you can download a backup (JSON), export a GEDCOM file for other genealogy software, or print it any time.

Your tree is empty. Click “Add a person” and start with yourself or your earliest known ancestor — then add their children, and the tree builds itself.

Join Our Family Tree

Think you belong to the Khizar Shaikh family? Tell the family admin who you are, how you're related, and where you fit in the tree — and give the verification evidence below so the admin can check the connection and decide. Nothing is added to the tree until the admin approves it.

🔎 First check — are you already in the tree? Search your name. If several people share it, the tags (generation · parent · birth · place · branch head) help you pick the right one.
🌳 At the head of the tree
I am an ancestor of Khizar Shaikh — I belong above the current root of the tree.
🔀 In the middle
I fit between existing members — as a child, parent or spouse of someone already in the tree.
🍃 At the end of the tree
I am a new leaf at the bottom — a child of a current member, with no descendants in the tree yet.

✔ Verification — how the decision is made

Nobody is added on a claim alone. Your request is verified by the immediate head of the branch you are joining — the senior member at the top of that line — together with the family admin. They check the evidence below, may contact you, and only then is the decision made: approved and added to the tree, or declined.

Birth / marriage certificate or a family record
You can attach copies to the email in the last step.
Old family photos
Photos showing you or your parents/grandparents with family members.
Documents naming my parents / grandparents
Any record that names the relatives you connect through.
The head of my branch can confirm me
The senior member of the line I am joining knows me and can confirm the connection.
Add me as a family member
Be added to the family tree as a family member (visible to all).
Get user access
Get access to add/edit family members and contribute.
Both
Be added to the tree AND get user access.

Privacy: your request goes to the family admin only. Nothing is published or added to the tree without the admin's approval.

About Family Tree Branch

Family Tree Branch is where every family's story gets planted and kept alive. Anyone can start a family tree in minutes — the person who starts it becomes its admin, relatives ask to join, and the head of each branch verifies every addition, so a tree stays true instead of turning into guesswork.

How it works

1
Start your tree
Create a tree with yourself as its first member — you become its admin instantly.
2
Family asks to join
Relatives find the tree, say exactly where they fit — head, middle or end — and offer their evidence.
3
Branch heads verify
The head of the branch being joined checks the claim; the admin makes the final call. Nobody unverified gets in.
4
Make it yours
Pick your site's theme, switch on member contact only for those who want it, and connect your own domain when you're ready.
5
Smart connections
If your family is split across two trees, smart matching finds the overlap so branches can join instead of duplicating.
Every tree is run by its own family's admin — Family Tree Branch is the platform underneath, and the families themselves own their stories.

About the Khizar Shaikh Family Tree

Weave your family's story into a beautiful, interactive tree. This site documents, visualises and shares the heritage of the Khizar Shaikh family — from Khizar Shaikh of Punjab (b. 1250) through twelve generations to the family's children in Massachusetts today.

How it works

1
Explore or start
Browse the Khizar Shaikh tree, or start your own tree in minutes — no account needed.
2
Gather your family
Collect names, birth dates and places of origin for your relatives — they are the foundation of your tree.
3
Build the connections
Add parents, spouses and children, and watch the generations connect and grow.
4
Think you belong here?
If your family connects to Khizar Shaikh's, send a Request to Join — the admin reviews every request personally.
5
Share your legacy
Print your tree, export it, and share your findings with relatives so the story lives on.
One branch to know: the modern family descends from Habib Ullah (b. 1922, physician) — father of Hamid, Zahid, Tahir and Shahid Habib. If those names are in your family, you are very likely in the right place.

🌳 Family Trees on Family Tree Branch

Every tree here is run by its own family admin. The person who starts a tree becomes its admin — and can give admin rights to other members of that tree.

Loading trees…

🧠 Smart connections — is your family already here?

Families often get split across two trees. Search your name across every tree on Family Tree Branch: if you appear in another tree, you may be its missing branch — join it, or suggest combining the trees instead of starting a duplicate.


🌱 Start a brand new family tree

Your tree starts with you as its first member and its admin. You'll get a personal admin code — keep it safe; it runs your tree. You can share admin rights later from the Admin page.


Prefer no account at all? The private in-browser builder keeps a tree only on your device.

🙏 Request to join this tree

The tree's admin reviews every request. If you're already in this tree, search your name above first — same-name people are told apart by the tags on their cards.


🛠 Tree Admin

Enter your admin code. Use your tree's owner code, a personal admin code (ADM-…) granted by a tree admin, or the platform key. The tree's creator holds the owner code and can grant codes to other members of that tree.
