Hello Inicky,
Yes, there are lots of good sites offering free family tree templates, if you accept that template means: a way of recording your information. There are:
Legacy
FMT
PAF
that I know of. I use Legacy and am very happy, both with the basic version and the paying one with super charts.
Have a look round RootsChat, there have been many discussions lately about which tree to use. Everyone has their own way of doing things so really you'll just have to download a few "free" versions and play with them before buying (if you want) the full version of what you like.
You know, I'm going to PM Berlin Bob to see if he can make a summary of all the discussions. They are so extensive and, I'm sure, so useful
cheers, falcybe
