I got a bit of time between work and playing the game to make the old family tree maker for CK2.
This program takes a CK2 savefile and generates a family tree for a specified character, saving it in the GEDCOM file format which can be loaded in many genealogy programs. For example, heres the tree for 'the Conqueror' about 30 years into one of my games (I didn't play as him) shown in Genopro.
As of this first version, it's very basic. I cobbled together some sort of usable GUI but there's no error handling so if you do something wrong it will just crash.
Needs .NET 4 installed. If you get errors on starting it, this may be the problem.
You need to know the character's ID number which can be found in the savefile.
There is a lot still to do but let me know of any bugs, problems and suggestions.
Basic instructions:

Basic instructions:
- Place the program in your CK2 directory; the one ck2.exe is in.
- Run the program and select a savefile using the browse button, or type it into the text box.
- Type the ID of the character you want to generate genealogy for. This MUST be just a number. You can find the ID from your savefile.
- Press go, select a location to save and wait. It takes a few seconds to complete.
