Image identification, retrieval, transformation and arrangement systems, methods, and computer-program products are configured to access a family tree of a user in a family tree database, identify one or more additional persons of interest in the family tree, determine whether the one or more persons of interest is associated with an image, retrieve the image, and transform the image of the one or more additional persons of interest with an image of the user or other person such as in an image arrangement template. Whether an image pertains to a person is determined using a machine learning classifier. A plurality of candidate lineages from a root or self node may be evaluated based on the number and/or quality of images associated therewith and/or based on filtering the one or more characteristics of the nodes in the candidate lineages.
