If you want to have your genealogy on your freepages account it's very simple to do. Most all modern genealogy programs will create a genealogy website from your database for you. Some do a fancier set of pages than others. Some are more human editable than others. Many years ago when I made my genealogy site I used a program called GED2HTML [ my genealogy program at that time didn't do it back then ]. It created simple web pages that are very easy to edit to add information and make other changes. I don't know if GED2HTML is still available but there are many others that will do the job. Google is your friend. Just upload the resulting set of pages to your account.
