The Next Generation — Ancestor recording and tracking

If you are like me you have been searching for the best software for your family tree. I have tried several, and paid quite a bit of money over the years to start new and pay for the latest updates. Most that claim to be shareable do not do the job.

TNG — The Next Generation developed by Darrin Lythgoe is the best by far that I have found. For under $100 you can purchase the software and create your own website with his partners at Simply Hosting.

You can try the demo here

What’s even better, you don’t have to go through a help desk, you can just drop Darrin a line.


“This program is a winner!”

— Dick Eastman, Eastman’s Online Genealogy Newsletter.

If you’ve been looking for an easy way to put your family tree online while keeping full control, TNG is for you!

Don’t have a website yet? We can help with that. If you’ve already got a site that offers PHP and MySQL, you can set up and run TNG with very little effort.

Don’t settle for ancient site creation methods that generate hundreds of HTML pages, or for freeware solutions that don’t come with any support. Get TNG today!
