Genealogy

Genealogy is an open-source family tree application for recording people, relationships, events and media. It is built on the TALL stack and designed for multi-tenant team use with role-based permissions.

Key Features

• Person and couple modelling with support for biological parents, multiple partners, siblings and remarriages
• Team-based multi-tenancy using Laravel Jetstream Teams with role and permission controls
• Media uploads (multiple photos/documents), photo carousel and optional watermarking
• Event management and timeline overview for people and families
• Built-in Backup Manager with manual and cron-schedulable backups and e-mail notifications
• Built-in Log Viewer and activity logging for persons, couples, teams and users
• Security features including optional 2FA, API tokens and Jetstream access controls
• Initial GEDCOM import/export support (under active development)

Use Cases

• Building and maintaining family trees for personal or research use
• Managing collaborative family history projects across teams with role separation
• Archiving and organizing photos, documents and event timelines tied to individuals

Limitations and Considerations

• GEDCOM import/export is incomplete and still under active development; full v7 support is not yet implemented
• Requires HTTPS and modern runtime: PHP 8.4+ and a database supporting recursive CTEs (MySQL 8.0.1+ or compatible MariaDB)

Genealogy is focused on accurate family relationship modeling and team collaboration, offering a feature-rich Laravel-based foundation for self-hosted genealogy projects.
