A few were interested in my results, so I thought I would post a "hit". I haven't tried any of the sites yet. Try inspiration ** You can get a 30 day free trial ** It's great for flow charts, organizing info before writing a report, etc. ***************************************** A number of responses mentioned the LDS site: The LDS church has a wonderful, FREE software program to record and print out your family tree called PAF 5. PAF stands fro Personal Ancestry File and 5 is the version. You do have to register (name, email) but there is no obligation, cost, etc. Some members of my genealogy club have been using PAF since it was in a DOS version. Here is the link. http://www.familysearch.org/ Just scroll down a bit and look at the lower right hand side in a yellow box. That will take you to the registration and download page. Although it was design for members of the LDS church, it has proved itself very popular among non-members too, due to its ease of use, flexibility and organizational features. If you are not church member, just ignore the boxes for sealings, ordinances etc. ****************************************** 1. This site lets you download for free: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/Download.asp Might be worth a try.. 2. http://directory.fsf.org/hobbies/genealogy/HTMLFamilyTree.html 3. http://www.misbach.org/pdfcharts/ 4. http://www.pbs.org/americanfamily/tree/ Try this web app: http://www.amiglia.com ********************************* If you go to: http://genealogy.about.com/ On the left there is a free template for a simple family tree. This one would be good for a classroom activity. ********************************** http://www.familytreemaker.com/download/starter.aspx?sourceid=13744&o_iid=13744&o_lid=13744&offerid=0%3a7797%3a0 For this one, scroll down about halfway and look for the yellow block where you will see a free download of the FamilySearch program called PAF.......... ******************************* What ever program you get make sure it will export a Gedcom.ged file. This is the equivilant of a text file in Genealogy programs. If you have to purchase. Stick to a known publisher Ancestry.com, Roots.com Family Tree Maker by Learning Company originally by Broderbund Is what I have used for years. You can purchase different level and I believe you can purchase and download. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
