About

Rodovid is a free multilingual family tree portal. Anyone can access, edit and add to it. Rodovid uses its own family tree software, called Rodovid Engine, to create cohesive family trees. This family tree maker is probably the most advanced Web-based technology to date, especially in terms of its ability to generate very large trees containing dozens of generations and thousands of people. It is far beyond the capabilities of any computer-based family tree makers and Web-based technologies from paid websites. There is no need to pay any money for creating and sharing your family tree when you have Rodovid!

Rodovid is powered by the MediaWiki content management system (the same is used by Wikipedia), which allows those familiar with it to work with content at ease.

More detailed information about Rodovid is available at the About Rodovid page.

Gedcom Uploads

At this time Rodovid does not allow the upload of gedcom files. In the future this feature may be made available on a limited basis. Gedcom imports are dangerous because of the risk of data corruption due to duplicate individuals and families. Other genealogy-sites who have been crippled by this effect found their services abandoned by dissatisfied users who found it difficult to navigate their sites. There is not a single genealogy system anywhere in the world that allows automatic Gedcom uploads without experiencing duplication problems. We are currently researching better methods to make it possible in the future, but it may take a while. In the meantime at Rodovid.org quality will prevails over quantity. We feel we have a site that offers an unparalleled product. With our team of various linquistic, historic, anthropological, and genealogical experts editing performing quality checks on a daily basis we can offer our patrons a more accurate content that is free of confusing duplicates and other errors!

FAMOUS FAMILY TREES

We are all descended from persons of antiquity. If not we would not be here. And since everything is ultimately related, you probably share some family links with other famous people. The fun part is finding out exactly how are you and your neighbor are related. Rodovid is endorsed by the Descent From Antiquity Project.

Heads of State

• Take a look at this huge family tree linking royal families in Europe starting from the ancient rulers of the Kievien Rus and ending with the children of Princess Diana and Prince Charles.
