An interactive genealogy viewer for your GEDCOM files, installed and maintained by DINAO. Navigate your family history with beautiful graphics — your data remains private and hosted in France.
What is Topola Genealogy Viewer?
Topola Genealogy Viewer is an interactive and open-source genealogy viewer that allows you to explore the structure of a family from a GEDCOM file — the standard format exportable from nearly all genealogy software and websites.
It offers an hourglass chart, a view of all relatives, the ability to click on a person to center them, a side detail panel, and smooth animated transitions. The tree can be printed in full and exported as PDF, PNG, or SVG. Loading via URL generates convenient permalinks for sharing.
Technically, Topola is a TypeScript/JavaScript library that relies on D3 to produce SVG renders, and is integrated into an increasing number of web and desktop applications. In the DINAO managed version, your tree remains hosted in France and is not exposed on a public platform.

Technical details
You might be wondering…

What views are available?
Hourglass chart, view of all relatives, one-click focus on a person, side detail panel, and printing of the entire tree.
Do I need technical skills?
No. You upload your GEDCOM and explore via the interface. DINAO handles installation, security, and updates.
