XY Family Tree

"Free Family Tree Software - Easy to Install - Easy to Use"

XY Family tree is a free family tree software download that helps you display your ancestors and relatives - parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, distant cousins, other ancestors and descendants. The program stores and displays your family tree data on your home computer and, optionally, that data can also be placed in your own folder on the XY Family Tree website to display your family tree in various views on the Internet. You only need to know the closest relationships of people - either parents or siblings - and the program works out all the other relationships. Large trees can be separated into distinct families very easily.

Privacy on the Internet can be controlled by obscuring names and dates for individuals, by discouraging Search Engines, or by requiring a password before the tree can be seen.

This easy family tree program is fully featured and able to display pictures, sound clips and most types of media, both on the PC and on the web. You can create links to all sorts of external files. The program will link all members sharing the same media. For instance, a photograph of a family wedding can be used to link all the people shown in the picture. Similarly you can link a group of people by a sound clip or video file.

See XY Family Tree in action - take the tour. The screen-shots can’t really do justice to the ease of navigation and simplicity of this program; it really is an easy to use, simple, free family tree program.

The latest version includes templates for various views of your family tree. These let you export a tree then adjust it in Word, Excel or any other HTML editor so you can print it just how you want it as a hard copy.

XY Family Tree gives you genealogy and pedigree chart software for free.
You have nothing to lose - no adverts, no nags, no spyware - this is an easy to use, clean genealogy program. You don't even need to register to download it. And, if you decide not to keep it, the uninstall feature will remove it in seconds.

Import GEDCOM

GEDCOM 5.5 files can be imported to get you started. This is especially useful if you have already done some family tree research using another family tree maker. XY Family Tree isn't constrained by the many tags used by GEDCOM, instead, apart from the essential fields to contain names and connections, it uses free-form, searchable text to give maximum flexibility. Just use the GEDCOM import feature. If you want to convert your GEDCOM to HTML or just see your GEDCOM file on a website, you can do it here.
