Hi! Thus is my first post... I am looking for a simple (?) On line form that helps me post my parents, grandparents, +, DATES...DoB, DoD, marriage, siblings. Is that available now, here ? Where, how? IrvingB.

Unfortunately, we don't *yet* have a simple data-entry system specifically for genealogy—probably the best bet at the moment is to add information to Wikidata [1] because it is likely that any future Wikimedia genealogy project will pull data from there. For example, see Prince Charles' entry [4].
The longer-term vision is to have a separate genealogy wiki onto which you'll be able to put information (similar to WeRelate, but without such overly- customised software). I've been working on one possible tiny component of this as a MediaWiki extension [2], but it's only linking family members together at this stage (no Gedcom import, Wikidata tie-ins, etc. although those will come).
Sorry to not be able to be more encouraging!
Oh, there is one other place that accepts research of this nature: Wikiversity [3]; it is not very developed for this usage yet though (and it's not clear if it will ever be).
