  • Collaboration :
    Share your information AND adding or editing it with your relatives around the world. But YOU control who has access and what they can see or do.

  • Privacy :
    This is a VERY important aspect of putting your Family History on the web. With webtrees your data is as secure as you want it to be. Control is configurable at:
    • the site level - controlling who can view or register on the site, from anyone down to no-one!
    • the family tree level. Each tree you have can be configured differently.
    • the user level. You can vary what each registered user can see; whether they can edit data or not; and if you want them to be able to change configurations themselves.
    • the individual record level. You can configure webtrees to show only deceased persons data; or everyone; or hide specific individuals; even people who died recently; and much more...

Works great with PHP 7.3. No problems found and no additional options are needed. A work of art!
