ged2dot2html

ged2dot2html is a tool which reads gedcom file (genealogical data) and produces a family tree as clickable html.

There are many tools that produce such family trees, but I don't like any of them, so I produced my own. My priorities were and hence features are:

produced graphs are compact – they don't contain too much information, so a lot of persons can fit on one sheet,
if one wants to know more information on a given person, just point your mouse over it and more info will be shown in a corner box,
ged2dot2html produces graphs using good standard tool called dot, so graphs are nice and pretty.

You can download it and freely use it (it is licenced under GPL). To run it, you need:

Python

It is tested on Linux, but probably can also run on other platforms.

bugs, problems and misfeatures

This tool is a part of some bigger project, which is not finished yet. However, I felt it is a good idea to publish ged2dot2html now. For sure it is not polished, but I think it can be useful even now.
