Time-Line Continuum Family
Your family, generation by generation.
A family tree that keeps the people, the dates and the relationships between them in one private place, and lets you put anyone at the centre and follow the line down through their children and grandchildren.
The same idea, applied to a family
A timeline puts one story in order. A family tree puts the people in order, and once it does, the stories start to connect. Who was where, and when; which generation lived through what; how a name travels down a family. TLC Family is our tool for that.
People and dates in one place
Births, marriages, deaths and the relationships between them, held together rather than scattered across notes, spreadsheets and old emails.
Follow the line down
Put anyone at the centre and see their children, their grandchildren and everyone after them. Move the centre to another person and the whole view rebuilds around them.
Private by default
A family tree is not public information. Yours is visible to you and to nobody else, and it is kept out of search engines.
Built to be added to
Family history is never finished. Add a person whenever you learn one, correct a date whenever you find it, and the tree grows instead of ageing.
TLC Family is open.
An account is free to create. Begin with one person you know well and add the family around them, in any direction, whenever you learn something new. If a family history reads better as a story than as a tree, TLCp will happily hold it as a timeline, and several of the ones on this site are exactly that.
