Wikipedia has some, they've even tried to categorize a bit and made
some tables of the basic features:

I set up my sister's old Ubuntu box to have gramps installed and (what
I've heard) she has been using it successfully for her intermittent
lightweight hobby genealogy studies of our relatives from previous
centuries.

I don't actually know much about these genealogy systems, so I don't
know if such light-weight use is what you have in mind -- and whether
gramps is a major beast or only usable for this kind of "playtoy-use".
