Family Tree Pilot

Family Tree Pilot is a straightforward and user-friendly application developed by Two Pilots. It stands out among genealogy utilities with its ease of use, making it ideal for those who are new to building family trees. The latest version, 1.04, continues to cater to users who want a hassle-free way to create their family histories.

One of the distinguishing features of Family Tree Pilot is its simplicity. Unlike other complex genealogy programs, this one displays several tabs that allow you to add new families, family members, and descendants with ease. However, the program does come with some limitations. You can only start a family with parents, meaning you must add your parents first before including siblings. Additionally, the information you can input for each family member is limited to a name, birth date, death date, and a small picture.

The tree tab is particularly useful for visualizing and arranging family members onto a tree graphic. You can easily move them around with the mouse and resize images by dragging their corners. However, some users might miss the ability to customize the text font, which is not available in this program.

As for compatibility, Family Tree Pilot supports a wide range of operating systems including Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11. This makes it accessible to most users regardless of the Windows version they are running. The program file names are FamilyTreePilot.exe, and the latest version is compatible with previous iterations like 1.0. The program belongs to the Education category, more specifically within the Science Tools subcategory.

For those interested in trying it out, you can download it for free from various sources online. It's an excellent option for beginners who want a straightforward way to create and print out their family trees using personal photos.
