WikiTree to genogram, one click
The Genogram Extension turns any WikiTree profile into a GEDCOM file — the whole immediate family, ready to open as a genogram.
The Genogram Extension by GenogramAI is a free Chrome extension that extracts the family around any WikiTree profile — the person plus parents, siblings, spouses, children, and grandparents — and saves it as a standard GEDCOM file. Open that file in GenogramAI to see the family as a genogram, or use it with any genealogy software. It works only with WikiTree because WikiTree’s data is openly licensed with a public API — no scraping, no accounts, no tracking.
How it works
Open a WikiTree profile
Browse to any person on wikitree.com — an ancestor, a historical figure, anyone with a profile.
Click the extension
It gathers the person plus parents, siblings, spouses, children, and grandparents via WikiTree’s public API.
Get your GEDCOM
A standard .ged file saves to your downloads — open it in GenogramAI to see the family as a genogram.
Whole immediate family
Person, parents, siblings, spouses, children, and grandparents in one pass.
Standard GEDCOM
The universal genealogy format — works in GenogramAI and virtually every family tree app.
Private by design
No account, no tracking, no data storage. Public API only; the file is built in your browser.
Free forever
The extension is free, and opening your GEDCOM in GenogramAI is free to start.
Why WikiTree (and not Ancestry or MyHeritage)?
WikiTree publishes its collaborative tree under an open license (CC BY-SA) with a public API, so an extension can read profiles the same way your browser does — openly and with attribution. Ancestry and MyHeritage restrict automated access to their databases, so the extension doesn't touch them.
Using Ancestry or MyHeritage? Both let you export your own tree as GEDCOM from account settings — then import that GEDCOM into GenogramAI the same way.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Genogram Chrome extension do?
It converts the WikiTree profile you are viewing into a standard GEDCOM file with one click — collecting that person plus their parents, siblings, spouses, children, and grandparents. You can then open the file in GenogramAI to turn the family into a genogram, or use it with any genealogy software that reads GEDCOM.
Is the extension free?
Yes, completely. The extension is free, requires no account, and the GEDCOM files it saves are yours. Opening the file in GenogramAI is also free to start.
Does it work with Ancestry or MyHeritage?
No — Ancestry and MyHeritage restrict automated access to their data, so the extension supports WikiTree only, whose data is openly licensed (CC BY-SA) with a public API. Ancestry and MyHeritage both offer their own GEDCOM export in account settings; download the file there and import it into GenogramAI directly.
Is it private and safe?
Yes. The extension uses only WikiTree’s public API, stores nothing, tracks nothing, and requires no login. The GEDCOM file is generated locally in your browser and saved straight to your downloads.
What is a GEDCOM file?
GEDCOM is the universal interchange format for family history data — a plain-text standard that virtually every genealogy program can read and write. Saving WikiTree data as GEDCOM means you can open it in GenogramAI, Gramps, RootsMagic, Family Tree Maker, and most other tools.
How do I turn the GEDCOM into a genogram?
Open GenogramAI, choose Import, and select the GEDCOM file. The family loads with generations laid out automatically; from there you can add the genogram layers — relationship quality, medical history, and household structure — that a plain family tree doesn’t show.
