Learn how free family history software can help you with your genealogy – without you needing to part with a penny.

Family history software is really useful for helping you to store your research, and there are a number of options to choose from which offer completely free versions. You can use them as long as you wish and they can become your familiar ‘work horse’ tool for keeping track of your research.
While these free versions will have limitations (when compared to the paid-for ones) they can nevertheless be really handy aids to your family history record keeping, that you can use on an on-going basis (TreeView Lite is a 30-day trial; the others don't have a time limit).
