My Family Health Portrait

https://familyhistory.hhs.gov/fhh-web/home.action

My Family Health Portrait, a tool from the Surgeon General, is an Internet-based tool that makes it easy for you to record your family health history. The tool is easy to access on the web and simple to fill out. It assembles your information and makes a "pedigree" family tree that you can download. It is private--it does not keep your information. It gives you a health history that you can share with family members or send to your health care practitioner.
If you are a covered entity under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), the family health information that you collect via this tool should be protected as individually identifiable health information as required by the HIPAA Privacy Rule
