Bring in the tree you already built. The archive organizes around it.
Already keep a family tree in Ancestry, MyHeritage, or FamilySearch? Export a GEDCOM, drop it into Nostalgia on the web, and the archive suggests which photos belong to which person — matched by name, era, and birth/death window. Import on web. Browse the result on every device.
Per-person photo suggestions ranked by name and era confidence
From a .ged file to a populated archive
Export from your tree
Ancestry, MyHeritage, FamilySearch, RootsMagic — they all export GEDCOM. Save the file locally.
Upload on web
Drop the .ged into Nostalgia’s web import flow. You see a preview of every person before anything is committed.
Review per-person suggestions
For each person, Nostalgia ranks the top photo candidates from your archive — by name match and era confidence. Confirm or skip, photo by photo.
What GEDCOM import does — and what it doesn’t
Read-Only by Design
We don’t want to be your tree-editing software. Keep editing the canonical tree in Ancestry. Re-import the GEDCOM whenever you want the archive to reflect new branches.
Confidence-Scored Suggestions
Each per-person suggestion is scored on name quality plus era fit (memory-event metadata against birth/death grace periods). The top five candidates surface; the rest stay searchable.
Web Import, Universal Browse
GEDCOM upload is a web action. Once committed, person records and confirmed photo links appear in your Library on iPhone, Android, and web alike.
Privacy
The GEDCOM stays inside your private archive. We never share or cross-reference your tree against other users. Delete the imported tree any time and every derived link goes with it.
Stop tagging photos by hand. Let the tree do the work.
If you’ve already built a family tree, your archive can organize itself in an afternoon. Import on web, confirm the photo suggestions, done.
