*[[Genealogy|Family Genealogy Tree]]: We introduced an absolutely free and collaborative way to maintain your family's ancestry. Most families do not keep written records of their genealogy. Hence, ancestry records are based on living memory. Trying to remember the brothers and sisters of the grandparents can be a struggle without written records. Most families can only remember immediate members of the family. Close first cousins are usually remembered but second cousins are seldom remembered. Z-Wiki's genealogy format will help you keep your written family record straight and will serve as a supplement to your family history records. Z-Wiki is global, so all family members around the world can easily share in their genealogy information online, at any time. Visit any Family Name which starts with the following letters below:
