Arbor Vita -

-Arbor Vita is a freeware that lets you display your genealogy tree on

same family. You have the choice of generating these HTML pages as
files once for all, or let the java applet generate them on-the-fly
while the user browses the pages. Another particularity is that it is
configurable enough to let you generate your pages in the language of
your choice.
