I have recently discovered Family Tree Builder, and must say it is the best I have seen! It is far superior to the other 2 genealogy software programs I used prior to yours. Congratulations! I'm glad I found you, and will tell all my friends about it!

Wow! I love it. I'm a web designer/programmer myself, and I think you guys have done an excellent job on the site. Fantastic. Overall, it has an excellent and intuitive design. Keep up the great work! With a family as big as mine (I've already uploaded 50 families and 178 people) - it's a great way to stay on top of birthdays, wedding anniversaries and the like. And the ancillary features like recipes, comments, photo albums will are excellent as well.

I've had a look at a lot of genealogy websites, and think what you are doing here is fantastic. I hope it will grow and will be flexible like googlepages. Would love to be able to change fonts, colours - make it more personal. I love the way the family tree is shown. Well done everyone - I'm looking forward to seeing your developments.
