QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
The interactive family tree, answered.
What it is, which TVs it works on, how your tree gets on screen, and what the free tier includes.
A family tree you explore rather than just look at. On Bright Branches, you move through your tree with a TV remote — choose any person and the tree turns and re-centers around them, parents above and descendants below. It's the difference between a framed chart and a living one.
Yes — that's the whole idea. Bright Branches is built natively for Apple TV, Android TV, Google TV, and Fire TV, with an iPad companion app. It's the only family tree experience designed for television.
There's a free tier when you sign in with FamilySearch, so you can see your own tree on your TV before paying anything. Paid plans unlock all five designs, animated artwork themes, and more — details at brightbranches.com/pricing.
Yes. Our concierge service imports your Ancestry tree — including photographs and sources — and keeps it refreshed with a monthly update. You don't re-enter anything.
The universal family tree file format. Every major genealogy program can export one, and Bright Branches can host it — so your tree appears on TV no matter where you built it.
If you can change the channel, you're qualified. There are no on-screen menus to learn — you explore the tree with the arrow buttons on the remote you already use.
Designs comfortably display six or more generations on screen at once, and you can navigate to any branch of a tree of any size.
