hello
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
any thoughts?

Yes, that is a good idea. However, it should not be on Wikipedia, according to [[Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not]]. Maybe if some big Wikimedia person (like Jimbo, maybe) sees this a consideration for a project may be started.
