    Does anyone use 'Webtrees' to display their family tree on a website? I just started a
    project on http://dippel-hollar.name where I installed 'Webtrees' and then imported my
    GEDCOM to it.

    I can run as many different trees as I want, but the main oe is The Dippel-Hollar Family
    Tree.

    Installing this program makes it easy for my family to review, add, edit their information
    without having to pay a fee to any of the genealogy sites. Love it!

    I use TNG (The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding). You pay for the inital software and updates are free for so long, then discounted updates.
    It's pretty neat, a good community, responsive developer. Self-hosted or you can use a provider that pre-installs it for you.

    yes... it is a fork of phpGedView that has been updated quite a lot...

    My 72 year old eyes had trouble reading the small fonts, but it seems like it is very
    feature rich!

    If you're using a PC you can always use the zoom feature (CTRL and mouse wheel forward on most browsers). I'm going to ask the author if they can add dynamically resized fonts. That may help.

    Thanks,
