If you use "Advanced" to search in that category alone the word "free", you will find 3,000 + people have asked "Where can I find my family tree for free?". The answers to these questions have links and tips. There are over 400,000 free sites with data in them.

Whoa! Your request is for the software, then you say try to find the history of the family! Everything you wanted?
For software, try Family Tree Builder by MyHeritage.com.

For history, archives of research papers.

For your Ahnentafel, try www.cyndislist.com, www.askmyrtle.com, etc.

Check your local library for genealogy sites, such as ancestry. Check libraries, historical / genealogical societies where your ancestors lived.

I love the magic of the roots and legacies. However several others available. Try typing the words free genealogy software in the browser, you should get a nice list.

If all you need information, you can try search.com family, or you can search for free Ancestry.com

Here are two, both free and importantly, both will be exported to industry standard GEDCOM format:

... http://www.dynastree.com/infocentre/home -To "Dyanstree."
http://www.familysearch.org - for "Personal Ancestry File."

Legacy, RootsMagic, and The Master Genealogist of all time (last I checked) had introduced free versions. I checked these programs in the past, and they all deserve instruction that your addiction to the advancement of genealogy.

Until you start with a free program that will export format GED.com, OK when you want to upgrade to a paid program that offers all the bells and whistles.I still recommend you keep the program on your own computer using a program that installs on your machine. This way, you have full control of content and can work with the database on any future software you select.

And always evaluate and cite your sources. Any system, even filing cabinets, index cards, stone tablets, or software is useless without this crucial step. A good family is the only way to avoid becoming a writer of fiction.

Have a blast.
