Hi Sean. See also [[m:Wikifamily]] and its siblings for a more general concept for a genealogy project. For the devs: would it be possible to try setting up another db for testing this project idea out? There seem to be a number of interested parties. It could start out as a normal wiki -- with sean's layout ideas implemented as crude templates -- and as a place to gather gen. information and discuss how that project could develop in more detail.

I've long wished there were a genealogical database of European monarchs etc, where for instance Charlemagne exists as an entry with his wives listed in one column, his sons in another, his daughters in another, his known mistresses in another and his mother and father in two more.
as it grew (wikistyle) you could then see things like: all male descendants of Charlemagne (or whoever) or choose to display the information in all sorts of ways.
but I don't know a) how to do it or b) if wikipedia is the right place for it
