Welcome to McKeeTree Family Tree Software

Overview

McKeeTree is a suite of programs for entering and displaying your family tree. You can enter the names and details of your ancestors, and display that information in a variety of useful diagrams. Your data is automatically saved, ready for the next time you visit this site.

It's Free

You are welcome to use this software, absolutely free of charge. Having arrived at this 'Welcome' page (by visiting www.mckeetree.net), you simply click on 'Menu' along the top, then the button below your browser, and start entering your data as per the 'Instructions' provided. When you click the 'Save' button at the end, your data is stored for you on your computer. You don't register or sign up for anything, and there is nothing to download.

It's Easy to Use

There is beauty in simplicity, especially when it applies to software products. The McKeeTree pages appear quite basic, almost 'retro'. Yet they contain all the functionality necessary to record and display even the most complicated family tree without duplication. To date, the largest tree recorded using this software contains over 60,000 names and goes back 43 generations.

How It Works

You use the mouse buttons to navigate around and to select which information to enter. Right-clicking on the name of any of your blood relations (shown in red) takes you to a details page for that person, where you enter gender, parents, spouse(s), children, dates and places. Additional pages allow you to view your Pedigree Chart in its entirety, to display the descendants of an ancestor, and to show how a blood relative is related to yourself. Comprehensive 'Instructions' are provided, including a section for 'Getting Started'.

In Summary

I'm trying to create a genuinely free service for recording your family tree. What the software does is organize your ancestry information for you. What the software does not do is help you to find that information. In order to do that, see the suggestions included in 'Questions'.
