Bimlas Sorry for my previous stream of consciousness reply. I agree every person should have there own tiddler and a field for each essential relationship is important e.g. mother father but my siblings are a relationship that should be derived not encoded, ie they share one or more of my parents. Or cousins the children of my aunts and uncles should be derived. I think whereever possible a relationship should be evaluated and not encoded.
Please forgive my extending into advanced concepts. I can imagin a single relationships table for all mutable relationships keyed by date with possible fuzzy and missing values. When navigating a tree you would do so at a given time, typically now. However one day it would be possible to introduce a time slider so one can view the tree, even annimate it over time. E.g. new tree is derived after divorce, we can handle "dotted line" relationships. Whilst this sounds complex I think it may be one of the only ways to truly represent such potentially complex data. As a result of accepting the reality of change and time as a serial number I think we can Actualy reduce the complexity of the problem in the long run.
