Genealogy

Anyone want to recommend me a decent online site that would allow me to store a family tree and share it with family members?

Funny you should mention that. I just got 'family historian 3' software package for xmas. The basic file format used in genealogy is called a 'gedcom' file. That's what you want to be looking for if you want to share it.

I haven't used it myself, but I have friends who like genes reunited.

I use www.geni.com
I find it does everything I want and allows me to merge my tree with other relatives who uses the site.

Most importantly,it tells me when their birthdays are
