"If you've been looking for a FREE family tree system that encourages collaboration, then I suggest that you try WikiTree. My opinion is that it's the easiest to use collaborative family tree currently available."

— Blogger Randy Seaver

WikiTree

"It is still amazing to me that I can find such a rich online experience with so many different options available to me... totally FREE. All that is asked of me is that I be responsible to our community with the information that I'm putting up."

— Gail Cox commenting on Jenny Lanctot's blog post "What's Not To Love About WikiTree?"

Here's how WikiTree works:

• Wiki Genealogists grow our shared tree.
• Modern family history is only shared with trusted family members. As you go back in time the privacy controls open up.
• Collaboration between distant cousins and strangers is kept enjoyable and productive through a simple, nine-point Wiki Genealogist Honor Code.
• There are many personal and family benefits of membership but our common goal is to help create a worldwide family tree that will ultimately make genealogy free and accessible to everyone.

It's all 100% free and designed to be user-friendly for genealogists and their non-genealogist family members.
