AP Family Trees is a new, versatile genealogy plugin built for family historians, authors, publishers and institutions who want to publish genealogical research on their WordPress websites. Import from GEDCOM, display interactive charts, and give every ancestor their own profile page. Insert family member profile ‘cards’ into other blog content to create lovely ‘pull outs’ linking to profile pages. The plugin includes multiple ways to access and display family history content and links on your site so you can integrate your genealogical information seamlessly – whether as a full page family tree chart or a small profile linking box on longer text articles. All within WordPress and without sending your data to a third-party service.

</ul>
<h3>Who It Is For</h3>
AP Family Trees is designed for:
<ul>
<li>Family history researchers who want to publish their tree online as part of a WordPress site or blog</li>
<li>Genealogy societies and archives that need to present lineage data in a structured, professional format</li>
<li>Historians and heritage organisations building public-facing ancestor resources</li>
<li>Anyone who has been using desktop genealogy software and wants to move their data onto their own website</li>
</ul>
<h3>What Makes It Different</h3>
Most genealogy plugins are either too simple (a basic chart widget with no data management) or too complex (requiring server configuration and database imports). AP Family Trees sits in the middle: a proper data-driven plugin that stores your family data cleanly in WordPress, imports from the standard GEDCOM format used by every major genealogy application, and renders interactive, publication-quality charts and profile pages.
Your data stays on your server. There are no third-party accounts to set up and no monthly subscription to a genealogy platform.
<h4>Third-party libraries</h4>
This plugin bundles the following open-source libraries. All are GPL-compatible.

</ul>
<h4>Privacy and data</h4>
This plugin does not collect or transmit any personal data from your site or your visitors. All family tree data is stored exclusively in your own WordPress database.
If you activate a paid Pro or Pro Plus licence, the Freemius SDK is used to validate and manage that licence. Freemius may collect basic site and usage data as part of licence activation.
