With the free legacy one you can add to it and then make a new gedcom to send to someone or some place without paying and always best to have your own FTM program on your comp, you can then add living people if you want and then exclude them frm a new ged ;;

I've never used it but familysearch.org has a free family tree program called PAF.

Please remember with Tribal pages that if you update your tree on Tribal pages rather than on here and then want to upload it to another site that you will need to pay a yearly fee. Its best to update your tree on here or a free program and then download it to Tribal pages for free. Hope that makes sense :-)

You can also download a free FTProgram from Legacy then all you do is R Click mouse on gedcom file open with legacy and you will have it all there before you on your comp for you to add or change anything ;;

If you put it on Tribal pages you can get some very nice report printouts and maybe some more contacts too!
You can build a free tree on Ancestry and invite guests as well.

Researching:
For better results please give all the details ,name, date place as you can {pictures by me }
