Why “Mizizi”
“Mizizi” means roots in Swahili — the generations below the surface that hold everything up.
For the ancestors you knew, and the ones you’re about to meet.
Questions, answered
No. You can build a tree of up to 2 generations right away — it stays in your browser. Create a free account only when you want to save it and keep building without limits.
Only you. Trees are private to your account by default, and you can delete a tree — and everything in it — at any time.
Names (including maiden names), birth and death dates with precision (exact, circa, year-only), places, photos, notes, and how everyone is connected through partnerships and parent–child links.
Yes. Mizizi is a mobile-friendly web app: the builder and the interactive chart — pan, zoom, focus on any relative — all work in your phone’s browser.
