Industry: Internet & Online

Press Release Summary: Users have to pay up to 84,- USD for family tree software at
Amazon.com. However, today the family social network itsourtree.com has released its
desktop software called "Home Edition." The software to build a family tree can be
downloaded for free at www.itsourtree.com/home-edition.

Press Release Body: The software enables users to edit and create a family tree on
their own PC. If desired, they can then upload it to itsourtree.com and share it
with relatives and friends. The Home Edition offers state-of-the-art usability and
technology at no cost. Besides operating in the standard GEDCOM format the software
also allows the printing of various familial lists in an appropriate genealogical
standard.

Itsourtree.com co-founder Sven Schmidt states: "Like Google's strategy of turning
the expensive Keyhole software into the free Google Earth, we decided to offer a
software that is usually pricy for free." Co-founder Daniel Grozinger adds: "This is
a 'thank you' for all the support we have got from our users. This also extends our
internet strategy of offering top quality at no cost."

Itsourtree.com, the fastest-growing family network worldwide, is a strong
complementary to other genealogical resources. So far, more than 5 million families
use the platform to combine genealogy with the fun of family communications.
