Suzanne, The LDS's new FamilySearch (new.familysearch.org) has many of your features. However, you must be a member of the LDS (Mormon) church to use it. It is missing some key features, the most significant is the ability to export GEDCOMs (it will accept GEDCOM imports). As far as I know there is no other similar system.
