Fantastic idea for hobby genealogists:

www.geni.com - Everyone's Related

Just try it out - enter yourself, your father and mother.

You'll soon be hooked. After a little research with my parents and only remaining grandmother, I have now assembled 65 persons in my tree (88 in the extended 'forest') - and I don't have a particularly big family.

Loads of cool features:


Various tree layouts (horizontal/vertical, number of generations, with or without photos, mark deceased...)
Tree navigation (zooming, panning)
Invite relatives by email to view/edit/add to the tree
Photo albums (incl. tagging of persons in pictures)
Family stats (blood relatives, inlaws) for each tree member
Customizable timelines (birth, death, marriage, schooling dates)
Tree members index by last names
Tree members list by relation to yourself
(time to check Wikipedia what a first cousin once removed actually is!)
Show current location or birth place of all family members on map
Easy-as-pie print function
Email newsletter with notifications about updates to your tree
