try www*tribalpages*com but change the * for . its really easy to do and its free plus you can add photos, I tried genopro but found it too complicated for my brain, another easy free one is legacy which I also have my tree on. jenny

Right..................................i've looked at tribal......... but i think what i really want to do is add all my info to freewebs, where i have already started a web site. So, how do i get my surname list, tree etc on to it? i read the help thing on freewebs but i doesnt say. Does that make sense?

Do you have any type of family tree software? I use a version of Family Tree Maker and this has the option to turn your tree into a webpage. I've done this for part of my tree as I'm slowly building a website with the webspace I get with my ISP. This software lays out your tree, gives you a list of names in the tree and by clicking on a name you can open details of that person in a new window to show detailed dates, and notes that you've added etc. Once this has built that pages you can upload them onto your website. I have to admit that I would not have been able to work this out on my own, but luckily my bf works in IT so he has done a lot of the work for me and is struggling to teach me HTML. I hope this helps, if you have any specific questions I can pass them on and try and get a techie answer for you! Sharon

Its not easy to get a standard tree layout onto a web page. There is a little programme GedVisual http://piazza.iae.nl/users/hvvugt/GEDvisual/Index.htm which presents your tree on your web site as a series of coloured panels that you can navigate around. I considered using this but in the end I cheated and went to Tribal Pages, created a tree there and linked to that from my web page. dave
