This database derives from a genealogical repository of insufficient encyclopedic interest to be an integral part of Wikipedia.

The site is multi-faceted: It captures details on individuals—both historically significant people and everyday people usually not listed in encyclopedias, histories, or even "people's histories"—and provides such other information as:

• the backgrounds and meanings of names
• documentation for family trees and quick links to recorded ancestors, siblings, and descendants
• other relationships that often determine who people are, eg:
  • monarchs
  • the chain of Sufi initiation
  • other titleholders.

This site aspires to be truly global, with active contributors and information from cultures and regions world-wide.

Please feel free to contribute to this site, no matter how small or large your input: It all helps towards the creation of a great site.

For more about the subject of Genealogy itself, see Genealogy at Wikipedia.
