How to Make a Korean Family Tree Online (Free)

Stop redrawing on paper. Here is how to build your Korean family tree online for free and manage it with your family.

Why build it online

Paper trees must be redrawn every time you add a person, and they are hard to share. Online, you can edit, expand, share, and print freely.

Step 1 β€” Start with yourself

Signing in creates your own tree. Add yourself first with name, birth year, bon-gwan and branch.

Step 2 β€” Add parents & grandparents

Work upward. For accurate records, see tracing ancestors with jejeok records β€” usually reliable to about 5 generations.

Step 3 β€” Link siblings, spouses, children

Connect each person's relatives. For adoption, pick the correct relationship type.

Step 4 β€” Bon-gwan, pa & hangnyeol

Enter bon-gwan, branch and generational names and the tree sorts by generation.

Step 5 β€” Export PDF & invite family

Premium lets you export the whole tree as a crisp PDF, and you can invite family to edit or view together. Plans start free.
