Ah! But if you look at my original spec, I had the desire to track partners - I know it's not part of the parent-child relationship, but I did have the desire to track it. Having said that, I've given it some thought, and I don't think I need to track the partnerships anymore :) > Person > - date-of-birth > - date-of-death > - mother (fk-> Person) > - father (fk -> Person) > - adoptive_parent (m2m -> Person, maybe use a through table > to get start and finish dates). I think having the fields mother and father is too prescriptive. I'm going to stick with just having a single parent (m2m->person) field. > Or, you could use the parent m2m with a through table to add > the relevant data. birth/adoptive parent, etc. > > And, the partner m2m could also use a through table to store > start and finish times of the relationship. > > Family relationships are hard...
