    hi all, just starting to build my family tree and currently using PowerPoint, which is getting a bit messy now as I keep adding more branches!

    Can anyone recommend good Family Tree makers online? Ideally I'd love to be able to share with other family members and get them to collaborate. I assume you get what you pay for with these applications?

    Hi Barney224

    Welcome to the forum.

    Please use the search function - we have lots of topics on family tree software already.

    Lots of them offer free trials, so you can test several and pick what you like before purchasing.

    I'd _highly_ recommend Wikitree. It's free, flexible, online, not proprietary and far less danger of duplicate trees (unlike other solutions, everyone contributes to a single tree rather than everyone having their own copy of a tree).
