    Does anyone use 'Webtrees' to display their family tree on a website? I just started a
    project on http://dippel-hollar.name where I installed 'Webtrees' and then imported my
    GEDCOM to it.

    I can run as many different trees as I want, but the main oe is The Dippel-Hollar Family
    Tree.

    Installing this program makes it easy for my family to review, add, edit their information
    without having to pay a fee to any of the genealogy sites. Love it!

    I use TNG (The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding). You pay for the inital software and updates are free for so long, then discounted updates.
    It's pretty neat, a good community, responsive developer. Self-hosted or you can use a provider that pre-installs it for you.

    yes... it is a fork of phpGedView that has been updated quite a lot...

    My 72 year old eyes had trouble reading the small fonts, but it seems like it is very
    feature rich!
