Launch of Irish family tree builder

Today we launched our free family tree builder software, allowing you to add some of the 10 million names now on findmypast.ie to your family tree.

Some of the main features of the software include:
• Add, edit, update and delete relations
• Add partners, parents and children
• View your immediate family, ancestors, descendants or whole family tree

This is merely the first step in our development of a fully integrated family tree program on which users will be able to store photos and historical references, helping to preserve the story of their ancestors. Future features will also include greatly enhanced social functionality, such as the ability to search other users’ trees and inviting other users to collaborate on a tree.

Cliona Weldon, General Manager of findmypast.ie, has commented: “Our family tree building software is equally adept at helping the novice family historian and experienced genealogist alike to store all the names on their family tree in one place. We’ve made the web based program as easy to use as possible and most importantly its free.”
