What a New Jersey family sees

TreeAlive maps family trees. When a visitor's ancestors lived in New Jersey, the markers standing near those places surface automatically alongside their family's journey:

Mount Airy · near where a family lived in the 1770s · a village grown up around Holcombe's storehouse, built 1743; the patriot army passed here in June 1778

When a marker stands near a place in your own tree, you have a personal reason to go see it. Open the live demo tree, choose the Crossings tab, and turn on Historical Markers to see the experience working (the demo family’s markers are in Pennsylvania; a New Jersey family sees New Jersey’s).

QR-ready, from day one

Every marker page has print-ready QR artwork. A scan at the sign opens the marker's page on the period map, no app to install. TreeAlive does no printing or installation.

Marker page links are permanent: identifiers are never reassigned, so a code printed today resolves for good.
