"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
WikiTreeThis collaborative project has been growing since 2008. As a community we are creating a single worldwide family tree. As individuals and family members we are connecting the tree with our private family histories. It's all free, but new members need an invitation to join.
"For the money (free) and ease of collaboration this is a must-use service for anyone looking to gather and share family tree data."
— Jay B., from GenSoftReviews

Here's how WikiTree works:
- Follow an invitation from a family member or fellow genealogist.
- Grow your family tree one person at a time or import it from elsewhere.
- WikiTree is all about sharing and collaboration, but you control the access to each individual you add (unless they're over 300 years old). You can choose to hide living people entirely.
- Keep modern family history private and only share it with trusted family members. Invite them to enjoy what you've put together on simple, attractive profile pages. As they browse they can add more names, facts, memories, and photos.
- As you go back in time the profiles become more open collaborations based on a Wiki Genealogist 9-Point Honor Code. Distant cousins will contact you and want to merge your common ancestors. This furthers our shared mission to grow a single worldwide family tree that connects us all and will make genealogy free and easy for everyone.
- Export your tree at any time for safekeeping or to import somewhere else.
It's all free and unlimited, and designed to be user-friendly for genealogists and non-genealogists alike.
Which are you?
