What you can build with Topola Genealogy Viewer
Topola Genealogy Viewer is an open-source web application that turns standard GEDCOM exports from any genealogy program into interactive, navigable family tree charts. It renders hourglass and all-relatives views, lets researchers click any person to refocus the tree, and supports printing or exporting to PDF, PNG, and SVG for offline sharing.
Self-hosting Topola on your own VPS keeps sensitive ancestry data — names, birth dates, living relatives — entirely on infrastructure you control. The viewer processes GEDCOM files client-side in the browser, and a private deployment removes any dependency on third-party hosting for genealogy societies, archives, or family historians serving relatives across the web.
Key features of Topola Genealogy Viewer
GEDCOM standard support
Loads standard GEDCOM files exported from Gramps, MyHeritage, Ancestry, Family Tree Maker, and any other genealogy tool — no conversion required.
Interactive hourglass chart
Click any person to refocus the tree and explore ancestors and descendants in a single fluid view with smooth transition animations.
Client-side privacy
GEDCOM files are parsed entirely in the browser, so ancestry data never touches a server-side database or external service.
Export and print
Export trees to PDF, PNG, or SVG and print the full genealogy chart for archival binders, reunions, or research sharing.
URL-based sharing
Generate permalinks that load a GEDCOM directly from a web URL, ideal for embedding family trees on personal sites or wikis.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Kodee and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
