Which ancestors were here
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Which of your ancestors were here, and when? Import a GEDCOM file, then explore any place or follow one ancestor across the map.
Which of your ancestors were near a place, and when were they there?
Kin Nearby reads a family tree from a GEDCOM file, the standard format for exporting a tree, and answers that question on a map and a timeline.
Your tree stays with you. There is no account and no server. Your tree is read and kept on your device. The offline globe works with no connection and sends nothing. Apple Maps, if you choose it, is sent the area you look at and the places you search for. If a file could not be fully read, you may choose to email it to our support address so we can find out why; nothing is sent until you tap Send.
Before you go. Planning a trip? Choose any place and see which relatives lived, worked or were recorded there, with the years. Or tap Near Me to see who was close to where you are now.
Walk in their footsteps. Open one ancestor and follow their life across the map, event by event, in date order.
Honest about the details. Most tree places are a town or a county, not an address, so Kin Nearby says "in this county" and never claims a distance the data cannot support. Years a person is only presumed to have stayed are drawn apart from recorded events and labelled as presumed.
Any tree. Import any GEDCOM file, from the program or website that holds your tree. See which spellings in your tree went to each place, and which places it could not find, so you can fix them in your tree.
Share a discovery. Make a card of an ancestor's journey to send to a relative. Cards never include anyone who may be living.
Free to try, one purchase to unlock. Everything works on a built-in demo tree. After you import your own tree you see what was found and a preview of it; a single one-time purchase opens the whole tree. No subscription and no ads.
Works on iPhone and iPad.
