A Complicated Family Tree

One of the resources that I plan to include in my book project is a detailed family tree or genealogy. I started by jotting down notes while I was reading through Peter the Great on the details and people that I wanted to include; making a hand drawn version of the genealogy as I went.

Next, I searched for programs on the internet that might help me with this part. Naturally I searched out free options first. Amazingly, I did find a freebie that is awesome! It is called My Heritage Family Tree Builder.

While this site does have other applications for sale, the basic Family Tree Maker is free and it is a powerful program with many options including the potential of publishing online. This might prove to be a great feature for me.

If you have any use for a family tree program, I recommend that you take a look at this one.

In the meantime, I have to simplify my chart. Right now it is printing out on 8 pages! Whew!
