Free genealogy sites

[olives]

I’ve seen posts on here re genealogy sites which are free, but I’m looking for a simple one that I can set up but allows family members to view it (not edit or add anything).

Years ago there was a great site “Family Legends” but unfortunately that became outdated.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Try familysearch.org. It is free to register.

Thank you 👍

Family Search is free but open access which allows anyone to edit and tend to find correct information you put on gets corrupted.

What do people make of Wikitree it seems similar to Family Search but the do seem to make an effort for everything to have sources.

Note that many free sites will not allow you to control who sees your tree and other data.
Not what you want if you wish to put on line data which only your friends and family can see.
You may want to consider preparing your stuff on your home computer and putting it on something like Dropbox, iCloud, Google space etc and then giving your family read only access to it.

Tribal Pages is both free or paid for.  It is searchable the same as other paid for sites but  to see your  free tree  someone has to message you and ask to view it, if you want them to see it you message back with a pass word.

That sounds more like what I’m looking for, Jebber. Thanks.

Thanks, spelk.

Thanks Andrew C. I definitely wouldn’t want anyone dabbing with the data I’ve put on.
