European Alternatives to Ancestry
Looking for a European alternative to Ancestry? The ancestry.com pages returned HTTP 403 when we tried to read them, so this page quotes only an archived French-language copy of the Ancestry terms. That copy provides for binding individual arbitration, allows court action in Utah for patent and copyright claims, and names Salt Lake City, Utah for arbitration-related court proceedings. Its footer says the French-language site is operated by Ancestry Ireland Unlimited Company.
The European genealogy tools below name contracting entities in the Netherlands, France, Germany and the United Kingdom, and several offer a free tier or public prices. Ancestry is stronger on record volume and DNA matching, which none of the tools below fully replace.
How we rank these tools — 4-step process
-
1
European ownership, verified
The company is headquartered and incorporated in the EU, EEA, the UK, Switzerland or Israel, and processes customer data in Europe or Israel. A US parent company disqualifies a tool from this page regardless of where its servers are.
-
2
Category fit and hands-on review
What the tool actually does, who it suits, and where it falls short — checked against the vendor’s own documentation, changelog and pricing page rather than its marketing copy.
-
3
Compliance and pricing check
GDPR posture, hosting location and the prices quoted on this page are verified against the vendor’s public pricing before publication, and re-checked when we revisit the category.
-
4
Position on this page
Placement on this page can be paid, and that can affect which tools appear here and the order they appear in. It never buys a good review: a tool that fails the checks above is not here at any price, and payment does not change the shortcomings we write about. A vendor can ask us to correct a factual error — not to remove a criticism.
Vendors can pay for visibility on this page. It never changes what an entry says about a product, including the criticism, and we earn nothing when you click through to a vendor. Vendors can pay for more visibility, higher up on the review pages; it never affects which tools are listed. Editorial policy

Key takeaways
- Ancestry combines trees, records and DNA, while the twelve European tools on this page each cover one of those parts.
- Ancestris is free for life under the GNU General Public License and keeps the whole tree in a GEDCOM file on your own computer.
- Open Archives searches 371 million Dutch and Belgian entries for free.
- Living DNA is the only DNA kit among the European tools, and it does not state the size of its matching database.
- The archived French terms we could read name Salt Lake City, Utah for court proceedings around arbitration, and Ancestry's own pages returned HTTP 403.
Why people leave Ancestry
Ancestry is a United States genealogy service that combines family trees, historical record collections and DNA testing in one account. Millions of hobby researchers start there because a single login promises a tree, hints and a DNA kit together. That breadth is real, and it explains why a switch is rarely a one-for-one swap.
Europeans who read the contract find a second reason to look around. The archived French-language copy of the Ancestry terms we could read provides for binding individual arbitration and allows court action in Utah for patent and copyright claims. It names Salt Lake City, Utah for court proceedings tied to arbitration, even though the footer of that copy says a company in Ireland operates the French site.
Ancestry's own pages returned HTTP 403 when we tried to read them, so this page makes no statement about its prices, server locations or parent company. What it can do is compare what Ancestry combines with what twelve European products do separately, and show which of those separate pieces you would actually have to rebuild.
- The contract in the archived French terms points to Utah The French-language terms we could read send disputes to binding individual arbitration, and they let either side go to court in Utah on patent and copyright claims. Salt Lake City, Utah is named for court proceedings around arbitration. A European hobbyist rarely reads that far, but a family association keeping decades of research in an account may want a contract under a law it can read.
- The tree, the records and the DNA kit sit behind one login Bundling is convenient until you want to leave. Every European product on this page covers one slice: a tree editor, a record archive, a hosted tree or a DNA kit. Splitting the slices means a GEDCOM export from the tree and a fresh start for records and DNA. Anyone who wants to reduce dependence on one supplier starts by deciding which slice matters most.
- European archives publish records without a subscription wall Open Archives lets anyone search 371 million entries from Dutch and Belgian archives without paying, and Archion sells time-limited passes for German church books that do not renew by themselves. For ancestors who lived in those regions, the primary source often sits in a national or regional archive that a European portal reaches directly, so a global record vault adds less than its size suggests.
- Several European programs keep the tree on your own computer Ancestris, Ahnenblatt, Der Stammbaum, Family Historian, Heredis and Généatique store the tree in files on your disk, and Ancestris is free for life under the GNU General Public License. A tree held in a plain GEDCOM file does not depend on any subscription staying active, which is a different risk profile from a tree that lives only in a vendor's account.
What you have to replace, not just match
Start with the part you use daily. If you mostly type persons into a tree, any desktop program on this page replaces it, and Ancestris, Heredis, Généatique, MacFamilyTree, Family Historian, Der Stammbaum and Ahnenblatt all read GEDCOM, so your tree travels. If you mostly browse other people's trees for clues, Genealogie Online is the closest hosted match, with Gramps Web at DINAO as the choice for a private shared tree.
Records are harder to replace than software. None of the twelve tools holds a global collection. Open Archives covers Dutch and Belgian entries, Archion covers German church books, and Heredis and MacFamilyTree send your searches to FamilySearch instead. Plan two or three portals for the regions your ancestors came from instead of looking for one vault.
DNA is the weakest spot. Living DNA is the only kit on the page, it sells ancestry tests from EUR 80 plus shipping and accepts uploads from other tests for free, but it does not state the size of its matching database. Ancestry is stronger here, so keep an existing Ancestry DNA result if cousin matching is the reason you subscribe.

How each alternative compares to Ancestry
Genealogie Online
The hosted tree with clues from other trees, aimed at Dutch and Belgian research
Best for: Dutch or Belgian researchers who publish a tree online and want matches against other trees
Genealogie Online is a website operated by Coret Genealogie in The Hague where researchers publish trees and compare them with others. Against Ancestry, it reproduces the part that many casual users value most: a tree in a browser and clues drawn from other published trees. The homepage counts 90.4 million persons across 13 thousand publications.
The price is public. Basis is free for one tree with up to 250 photos and documents, and Plus costs EUR 52 per year and can be cancelled at any time, with data staying stored. The weakness is reach: the material leans Dutch and Belgian, and clues come from other users, so each one needs checking.
What Genealogie Online does better than Ancestry
- A free plan that publishes a full tree online
- Cancellable yearly price of EUR 52 stated on the pricing page
- Contracting entity in the Netherlands with a chamber of commerce number
- Access gate for living persons referring to the GDPR
Where Genealogie Online is a step down from Ancestry
- Focus on Dutch and Belgian sources
- No DNA test and no record collection of Ancestry's size
- Server location not stated on the pages we read
Standout against Ancestry. Genealogie Online is the only tool here that gives you a browser-based tree with clues from other trees for free.
Best for: French-speaking researchers who want a desktop tree program with a free starting tier
Généatique is a family tree program published by CDIP in Cergy, with the tree shown above the entry form while you type. Compared with a browser-based tree, it is a local program for Windows, macOS and Linux, and the free version keeps all functions for trees of up to 50 persons without a time limit.
Paid licences are one-time: EUR 29 for up to 500 persons per tree and EUR 109 for unlimited persons plus the mobile licence. Trees can be published on Geneatique.net, but hosting is not stated. The software and its documentation are French, and the strongest search is the INSEE name database.
What Généatique does better than Ancestry
- A permanent free tier instead of a subscription
- One-time licences of EUR 29 and EUR 109
- Runs on Windows, macOS and Linux with an app for Android and iOS
- Over 250 printable tree models
Where Généatique is a step down from Ancestry
- French-centred documentation and search
- About a hundred linked databases instead of one owned collection
- No DNA matching
Standout against Ancestry. Généatique has the clearest free-to-paid ladder of any desktop program on this page.
Best for: Researchers who want a free tree they fully control and no subscription at all
Ancestris is volunteer-built genealogy software from a French association, installed on Windows, macOS or Linux with Java. Where Ancestry keeps a tree inside an account, Ancestris keeps the whole tree in a GEDCOM file on your own computer, with no limit on individuals, families or trees.
Updates arrive inside the program at no charge, and the documentation names the GNU General Public License. The cost is the missing services: no hints, no record collection, no DNA, no cloud sync, and support from volunteers on a forum. It is an editor and nothing around it.
What Ancestris does better than Ancestry
- No cost and no subscription, with updates included
- Open-source licence you can read
- Data never locked in because the file is plain GEDCOM
- Over 30 analysis tools including duplicate detection and merging
Where Ancestris is a step down from Ancestry
- No hints, record search or DNA
- Needs Java and looks like a classic desktop tool
- Volunteer support only
Standout against Ancestry. Ancestris is the only tool on the page whose licence is open source and whose price is zero for good.
Best for: Anyone tracing ancestors in the Netherlands or Belgium who needs civil and church records
Open Archives is a search site for the records of open archives and historical societies, run by Coret Genealogie. It concentrates on one region and counts 371 million individual entries. Searches accept exact phrases, name parts and wildcards such as K*sper.
The site links related documents to a person automatically and lists the most common surnames, places and occupations. It does not edit trees, and it has no coverage of census images or immigration lists outside its region. A subscription is mentioned in the menu without a price, and one search timed out when the site was busy.
What Open Archives does better than Ancestry
- Free searching without a login wall
- Wildcard and name-part queries across archives
- Direct reach into Dutch and Belgian archives
- Automatic links between related documents
Where Open Archives is a step down from Ancestry
- No records from outside its partner archives
- No tree editor and no DNA
- Subscription price not shown
Standout against Ancestry. Open Archives is the free record portal that most directly replaces Ancestry searches for Dutch and Belgian ancestors.
Best for: People who switch between laptop, phone and tablet and can read French or English
Heredis is genealogy software published by the HEREDIS company in Montpellier, which dates the product to 1994. It runs on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, and Heredis Online publishes a personal genealogy website. Compared with Ancestry, the tree lives in local files and the terms follow French law and French courts.
Research goes through FamilySearch and search engines from inside the program, because Heredis owns no records. The English page lists Windows at $39.99, Mac at $69.99 and upgrades from $29.99 in dollars, and the demo stops at 50 persons. Where Heredis Online is hosted is not stated beyond the French address.
What Heredis does better than Ancestry
- Contract under French law and French courts
- Native apps for four platforms
- Perpetual purchase instead of a rolling subscription
- Import from other programs through GEDCOM
Where Heredis is a step down from Ancestry
- No record collection of its own
- Prices shown in dollars rather than euros
- No DNA test
Standout against Ancestry. Heredis is the one European program here with its own apps on both Apple and Android phones.
Best for: Windows users who like to extend their software and prefer owning a licence
Family Historian is written by Calico Pie Limited, a London software house founded in 1995 according to its About page. It is Windows software that stores data on your PC, and Mac users need Parallels, Boot Camp or CrossOver. Version 8 adds Smart Folders, which the vendor calls a genealogy world first.
A 30-day trial precedes three ways to pay: EUR 6.74 a month, EUR 32.80 a year, or EUR 71.33 outright with major releases bought separately. A plugin store and a user group extend the program. The UK sits outside the EU, so a UK contract falls under UK law, and the pages show no hosted tree or DNA.
What Family Historian does better than Ancestry
- Perpetual licence option at EUR 71.33
- Plugin store and active user group
- Business and education prices published per user
- Tree held on your own PC
Where Family Historian is a step down from Ancestry
- Windows only
- UK company, outside the EU
- No hosted tree, records or DNA
Standout against Ancestry. Family Historian is the only tool here with a plugin store extending the core program.
Best for: Mac and iPhone owners who want visual tree views and shared editing with relatives
MacFamilyTree is published by Synium Software GmbH in Mainz and runs on macOS 12 or later, with MobileFamilyTree for iPhone and iPad. MacFamilyTree offers a Virtual Globe, an interactive tree and a 3D Virtual Tree, and it colourises and repairs old photos.
CloudTree Sync and Share lets any number of users edit one tree at the same time at no extra charge. The pages do not say where CloudTree data is hosted, and the price appears in US dollars: US$ 34.99 for new customers in a time-limited offer. Research runs through FamilySearch, a US archive.
What MacFamilyTree does better than Ancestry
- Visual tree views: globe, interactive tree and 3D tree
- Real-time shared editing at no additional cost
- German company with a Handelsregister entry
- Photo colourising and repair built in
Where MacFamilyTree is a step down from Ancestry
- Works only on Apple devices
- CloudTree hosting not detailed
- Prices in dollars, mobile app sold separately
Standout against Ancestry. MacFamilyTree turns a tree into a 3D view and a globe, which no other tool on the page does.
Best for: Researchers with German ancestors who need the original baptism, marriage and burial entries
Archion is a portal run by Kirchenbuchportal GmbH in Stuttgart that publishes images of church books from partner archives. It is narrow and deep: baptisms, marriages and burials, found by location, with millions of pages already transcribed and new records added daily.
Where a page lacks a transcription, you can start text recognition yourself and receive a result a few minutes later. Access is sold as month or year passes that expire without renewing, and the prices are not on the pages we read. Civil registration and census records are outside its scope, and there is no tree editor.
What Archion does better than Ancestry
- Original church book images with on-demand text recognition
- Passes expire without automatic renewal
- A free example from an archive before you pay
- Imprint with register number and named managing director
Where Archion is a step down from Ancestry
- Church books only, no civil or census records
- Prices not shown on the pages we read
- No tree editor or DNA
Standout against Ancestry. Archion is the only tool here that lets you run text recognition on a church book page yourself.
Best for: Families who want one private web tree to edit together without running a server
Gramps Web hosted by DINAO is the open-source Gramps web application, installed and updated by DINAO SARL in Sanary-sur-Mer. DINAO states that the tree, photos and archives stay on French servers, in Marseille and Sophia Antipolis. The family controls access and roles itself.
The managed container costs EUR 19,90 per month excluding VAT for Standard, with daily backups, and larger tiers cost EUR 39,90 and EUR 79,90. A self-managed Docker VPS starts at EUR 11,00. There is no administrator access on the managed machine, no hints and no records; a chromosome browser handles DNA data you already hold.
What Gramps Web hosted by DINAO does better than Ancestry
- Hosting location in France stated by the vendor
- Open-source application with GEDCOM and Gramps XML import
- Role management and privacy controls for living people
- Prices published per tier
Where Gramps Web hosted by DINAO is a step down from Ancestry
- Monthly fee from EUR 19,90 excluding VAT
- No hints, records or DNA test
- Genealogy support depends on the Gramps community
Standout against Ancestry. Gramps Web hosted by DINAO is the only option here where the family tree is private, shared and hosted in France.
Best for: German speakers who prefer buying a program once and printing wall charts
Der Stammbaum is sold by United Soft Media Verlag GmbH in Munich, and version 10 Premium costs EUR 59.90 on DVD-ROM with a printed German manual or EUR 49.90 as a download. Compared with Ancestry, the purchase is one payment, and data sits on your Windows PC in German, English or French versions.
Premium adds reports, diagrams and PDF presentations up to DIN A0, plus a companion app that uploads photos through a cloud server whose location is not stated. The listed system requirements stop at Windows 10, activation is required, and the demo news item dates from 2021, so check current compatibility before buying.
What Der Stammbaum does better than Ancestry
- One-time price of EUR 49.90 to EUR 59.90 including VAT
- PDF output up to DIN A0 for large charts
- Plausibility checks on entered data
- Munich publisher with a commercial register number
Where Der Stammbaum is a step down from Ancestry
- Windows only, requirements list ends at Windows 10
- Activation required
- No records or DNA
Standout against Ancestry. Der Stammbaum is the only tool here still sold on a physical DVD with a printed manual.
Best for: Windows users who want a plain tree program that travels on a USB stick
Ahnenblatt is a Windows genealogy program run by one developer, Dirk Böttcher in Hamburg. Version 5 appeared on 2 October 2026 and version 5.02 on 27 October 2026. Where Ancestry needs an online account, Ahnenblatt runs without installation from a USB stick, and the site states that persons, marriages and partners are unlimited.
It draws ancestor, descendant and hourglass charts, checks logic such as a marriage after a death, and handles Unicode, including Cyrillic. GEDCOM and GEDCOM 7 are supported. The licence price is not shown on the pages we read, and a single developer means support by email and continuity risk.
What Ahnenblatt does better than Ancestry
- Portable version with no installation and no account
- Unicode names survive import and export
- Unlimited persons in the full version
- Version 2.99 stated to be free and unrestricted
Where Ahnenblatt is a step down from Ancestry
- One-person project
- Licence price not shown
- Windows only, with no hosted tree
Standout against Ancestry. Ahnenblatt is the only program here that can live on a USB stick next to the family documents.
Best for: People who want a DNA test from a UK company to add to a tree kept elsewhere
Living DNA is a privately owned UK company, registered in England and Wales under number 10221519, with its office in Frome. It replaces only the AncestryDNA side. Your Ancestry costs EUR 80 plus shipping, Your Ancestry and Neanderthal EUR 85, and the Wellbeing bundle EUR 165, with shipping from EUR 24.95.
The kit offers DNA matching, and uploads from other tests are free. Results arrive in six to eight weeks in an online account. The contract falls under English law and English courts, and the pages do not state the size of the matching database or where genetic data is stored. Ancestry is likely to find more relatives.
What Living DNA does better than Ancestry
- Free upload of DNA data from other tests
- Prices shown in euros, VAT included where applicable
- Kit tracking in an online account
Where Living DNA is a step down from Ancestry
- Matching database size not stated
- English-law contract outside the EU
- No tree and no records
Standout against Ancestry. Living DNA is the only DNA kit on the page, and it accepts uploads from other tests at no cost.
What actually breaks when you switch
The first thing to break is the connection between your tree and the records attached to it. A GEDCOM file carries persons, dates, places and notes, but source links that point to Ancestry's record images stop working once you leave. Budget an afternoon to re-attach the sources that matter, and keep the downloaded images you already saved.
The second break is shared access. Relatives who edit or browse your tree on Ancestry will need new logins, and a desktop program such as Ancestris or Der Stammbaum gives them nothing to log in to. If sharing matters, pick Genealogie Online, MacFamilyTree with CloudTree or Gramps Web at DINAO first, then choose records and DNA around that.
Can I move my Ancestry tree to a European program?
GEDCOM is the usual route out of any tree service; we could not open Ancestry's pages to confirm its export steps, so check the export screen in your own account. Ancestris, Heredis, Généatique, MacFamilyTree, Family Historian, Der Stammbaum and Ahnenblatt each state that they import GEDCOM, and Gramps Web at DINAO imports GEDCOM and Gramps XML.
Expect to lose the connections to Ancestry's record images and its hints, because those links point back to Ancestry. The persons, dates, places and notes survive, but sources attached as Ancestry citations may need tidying afterwards. Do a trial import into the free tier of Généatique or the 50-person demo of Heredis before you commit.
Which European tool is cheapest for a hobby researcher?
Ancestris costs nothing, now or later, and Open Archives search is free as well. Genealogie Online has a free Basis plan and Plus at EUR 52 per year, while Généatique is free up to 50 persons per tree and charges EUR 29 or EUR 109 once for a licence.
The paid desktop options are one-time or low-subscription: Der Stammbaum 10 Premium is EUR 49.90 as a download, Family Historian is EUR 71.33 outright, and Heredis lists $39.99 for Windows. Gramps Web at DINAO is the costly route at EUR 19,90 per month excluding VAT, because you are paying for a server.
Which one to pick
Choose by the slice you use most. Ancestris suits a researcher who wants a free tree under their own control, Heredis suits someone moving between computer and phone, MacFamilyTree suits an Apple household, and Genealogie Online suits Dutch or Belgian research with a published tree. Gramps Web at DINAO is for a family that wants to edit one private tree together.
Choose records by region: Open Archives for the Netherlands and Belgium, Archion for German church books. Add Living DNA only if a UK-based kit is acceptable, and keep Ancestry for as long as its DNA matching and record volume are the reason you pay. A partial move, with the tree in a GEDCOM file and records at archives, is also a reasonable outcome.
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on which part of Ancestry you use. For an online tree with clues from other trees, Genealogie Online is the closest. For editing a tree on your own computer, Ancestris is free and Heredis runs on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android. For records, Open Archives covers Dutch and Belgian entries and Archion covers German church books. No single European tool replaces the whole bundle.
Living DNA is the DNA kit on this page. It sells Your Ancestry at EUR 80 plus shipping from EUR 24.95, and it accepts DNA uploads from other tests. It is a UK company, registered in England and Wales, and its contract is under English law. It does not state how many people are in its matching database, so cousin matching may find fewer relatives than on Ancestry.
Yes, several. Ancestris is free for life and open source, Généatique is free for trees up to 50 persons, and Genealogie Online has a free Basis plan that publishes one tree with up to 250 photos and documents. Ahnenblatt also points to version 2.99 as a free and unrestricted release. Each free option leaves out Ancestry's record collection and DNA matching.
In the archived French-language copy of the terms that we could read, disputes go to binding individual arbitration, and patent and copyright claims may go to court in Utah. Salt Lake City, Utah is named for court proceedings connected to arbitration. Ancestry's own pages returned HTTP 403 for us, so check the current terms for your country before relying on this.
For two regions, yes. Open Archives searches Dutch and Belgian archives and historical societies for free, and Archion holds digitised German church books with text recognition on demand. Archion sells month or year passes that do not renew automatically. Records from other countries still need their own national or regional archive.
