I'm looking for a macro that will let me draw hierarchical trees in the
style of genealogical, organizational, or parse charts.  I'd like to get

                                A
                                |
                --------------------------------
                |                        |     |
                B                        J     K
                |                              |
  --------------------------------             L
  |       |         |            |             |
  C       D         E            I          -------
                    |                       |     |
              ------------                  M     N
	      |     |    |
	      F     G    H

from the "obvious" input, say

\tree{A}[\tree{B}[C,D,\tree{E}[F,G,H],I],J,\tree{K}[\tree{L}[M,N]]]

or something similar (the format of the TeX code is flexible).

Your help is much appreciated.
