What is webtrees?

webtrees is a free, open-source web application for recording, viewing and sharing family history. Relatives can collaborate on the same family tree through configurable access controls, and data can be exchanged with desktop genealogy software using GEDCOM files. It is maintained by fisharebest on GitHub and was started as a fork of PhpGedView.
