So FSFT has the potential to be a great option for those who want to work on a collaborative family tree. , a “freemium” website, contains 131 million profiles. This compares to 20 million profiles at WikiTree and 3 million at WeRelate. FamilySearch Family Tree (FSFT) is the largest free shared family tree website with 1.2 billion profiles (not all unique).
