Does anyone have any recommendations for software to build a family tree, preferably something free or shareware?

When I was making my notes this morning, I realized that I need to codify the family trees for the WiP as much of the plot hinges on various pretenders to the throne. So far my hand-drawn attempts are only adding confusion rather than clarification.

Any thoughts? I know other writers must wrestle with this, especially when working with epic fantasies.

ETA: Acquired the special edition of Family Tree Maker for only $9.99 at Staples this afternoon. It has what I need, and I won't bother setting up the internet search features since it's highly unlikely that the denizens of my imaginary fantasy empires have access to the internet and have already gone ahead and posted their own family trees. Though it would be useful if they had, it would also be a tad disturbing. I prefer that the voices in my head stay in my head.
