I personally use Family Tree Maker from: https://www.mackiev.com/ftm/
I have the paid version but it is very feature rich.  You can import a gedcom to create 
your tree, then break it into short segments to be able to upload a small gedcom to a 
place like wikitree.com ( a free resource ).

FTM allows you to get hints from Ancestry.com, and other sites as well.

I don't know anything about Brothers Keeper.  Try FTM to compare the two.
