Online Family Tree Maker App: Free and Easy Tracing
A decade ago there was no point even considering researching your roots if you weren’t prepared to spend days, months or potentially years trawling through dusty registers and reels of microfilm in an archive where the temperature is controlled at near-Arctic conditions. Now I can browse centuries of marriage records on my iPad while basking in the sunshine.
The internet opened up a world of possibilities for anyone eager to find out, at the click of a button, if a First World War soldier, merchant seaman, or criminal lurks in their family tree. What’s more, you can start the process anywhere, surrounded by family, and this is where the best genealogy apps come into their own.
The 10 best family tree building software to help you find your relatives
Android Apps

Start building your family tree and find your ancestors in billions of historic records. This works best when used with a monthly subscription to the Ancestry website. Individual family records can be bought by non-subscribers (up to £1.49 a document), which is useful, but the subscription allowing unlimited downloads is more cost-effective.
