Tell us where you and your relatives were born, grew up, studied and moved. MapHeritage turns the conversation into a map of routes, like the explorers’ maps in a school atlas, only about your family.
Create your family mapExample: the Levin family, 1930–1996
The assistant asks one question at a time: who, where, when, and what happened. Start with yourself and work back to your great‑grandparents.
Every place and every move appears on the map as you talk. Old names like Königsberg or Stalino are matched to where those places are today.
Correct any point by hand, download the map as an image, or send relatives a link where the journey plays back.
One map instead of a thousand words.
Every year we lose the people who remember where the family came from: evacuations, job assignments, moves across half a continent. These stories are rarely written down, so they disappear.
MapHeritage preserves the memory of how families moved. The places where your people were born, grew up, studied, and lived through hard and happy times come together on one map you can pass on to your children and grandchildren.
A family map is a personal gift for an anniversary, a wedding or a reunion, especially when two families with their own heritage come together.
Build it with your parents or grandparents. The conversation about where they lived is often worth more than the gift itself.
Free. Only people you send the link to can see your map.
