It’s okay, but I don’t like the fact that you can only see a few people at once and can only print a few people, so I find it impossible to use for how I want to.

Biggest Pro: easy to use
Biggest Con: can only see a few people at once

Easy to use, but then I became worried, because I don’t know too much about this company. It seems like this is a good way to harvest informtion about people (birthdates, birthplace, etc.) and then use that data to impersonate people. Be careful about what information you give.

Like the other reviewers, I was happy to see that this family tree maker was both easy to use and the most importantly, free. All of the other genealogy sites I’ve tried to use have wanted a subscription to user their software. You can also save your progress as you go, and back it up onto your computer. A word to Norton users, you will have to override your anti-virus software to download the installer.

Biggest Pro: The cost, Lots of open fields, zoom in and out feature
Biggest Con: the drag format and the distance between families in the same generation.

Excellent site. Easy to use. Works great in my jr. high classroom as an extension to family history reports.

Biggest Pro: ease of use and FREE
Biggest Con: As usual, some concerns with privacy. This is true of any online service, though.

Free, easy to use, and is stored online so you can access and edit your family tree by logging on from any computer. Has many fields in which the details of the lives of the people on the tree can be filled in.

Biggest Pro: Free, stored online, can be published into a GEDCOM file on your computer.
Biggest Con: Limit on how distant the relative can be from the founder for them to be added to the tree.
