I am wondering what would be the bet solution to creating a family tree. Thinking of a branching tree or fan chart. Or any recommendations of tools available?

I can't see Highcharts being a good solution for this. If you really want to go the route of making your own, I would suggest looking into D3. However, I would strongly recommend making use of ancestry.com for this. While there are a lot of services that you have to pay for on the site, making a family tree is one of the free services, and they do it very well. You can also download the resulting gedcom file any time you want. There are also a wide variety of software options out there that do this, with a wide variety of quality and price as well. –  jlbriggs Mar 29 '13 at 15:40
