Abstract: A family tree interface may include a default number of family members in addition to a target node which are expandable upon selection by a user. The default tree interface is expandable by a user vertically to include more generations and laterally. The tree interface includes labels showing a relationship of a tree node to the target node. In some embodiments, one or more family members that have not been rendered may be cached to speed up the visual rendering process. A graphical user interface, in a viewing session, may display an initial view of the family tree associated with the target individual. Upon receipt of an expand request, the viewing session may add the one or more additional family members to generate an expanded view of the family tree. The expanded view may partially adjust the initial view without refreshing the viewing session.
