Heredis 2026

Embrace your history.

Discover the Timelines.

NEW

Looking for a more engaging way to present your genealogy?

✅ You’ve entered hundreds of names, events, and places…

But have you ever seen your family story unfold with such emotion?
The new personal and family timelines bring your ancestors’ journeys to life, generation by generation.
With a clear and elegant visual, they help you better understand family connections, historical context, and life paths following each ancestor’s timeline and the key events that shaped their lives.

Want to highlight the life of a remarkable figure in your family tree?

✨ Shine a light on:
All the ancestors who shared the same occupation, by combining Smart Search with the new timelines,
A specific person or family you’d like to showcase to your relatives,
A remarkable figure worth featuring in a blog post or other publication — thanks to exportable PNG files.
📌 A simple and visual way to tell your family story differently, with a customizable title for each timeline.

Have you ever dreamed of a tool that reveals what you would have otherwise missed?

🔍 Spot the gaps, guide your research.
Thanks to the new timelines, you can see an ancestor’s entire life at a glance — from birth and marriages to places of residence and death.
🧩 Empty periods stand out instantly, making it easy to spot the missing pieces in their story.
💡 The result? You save time and can focus your research more effectively in the archives.

Explore History. And your ancestors’ story.

NEW

📚 A richer historical context, right inside your software

Love putting your discoveries into historical perspective?
With the brand-new Historical Facts Index, Heredis shows you what was happening in the United States and around the world at the time your ancestors lived.
And because every family has its own unique story, you can add your own historical facts — linked to the regions or countries your ancestors came from, including local wars, epidemics, or significant facts.
📍 Assign a location and a time period to each fact: they’ll appear directly on your timelines, bringing the local context of your ancestors’ lives into view.

So many reasons to choose Heredis 2026.
