Build your own Family Tree

August 27th, 2008 2 comments

Have you ever tried to put all your relatives in a single chart(Family Tree)?

All of a sudden I got a sparkle to build a Family Tree. A family tree of my own. When I searched on the Google, I came across many websites which provide a way to build a Family Tree.

After a short comparison I found that www.tribalpages.com which suit my requirements. You need to register first to build your website.

This website provides an easy way to build a family tree in simple steps.  Once you add the names of your relatives, you would be able to find the relationship of any two individual persons in a tree like structure.

You can also add the names, birth days, anniversaries and other important/miscellaneous notes for each person.

If you don’t want these information to be shared/published to public, you can still restrict the site(Family Tree) you built by providing a password. (When you want to share with your friends and relatives share the password too).

You can also add photos to get a photo tree of your relatives.

The entire service is free of cost provided by www.tribalpages.com. There are few more advanced features for paid users on report generations.

So start building a Family Tree of your own. In a matter of one hour you can build your own Family Tree. It would definitely be a a fun filled/useful time pass.

The image shown below is a sample tree of British Royal Family.
