Description

The genesis of this database was as a repository for Genealogical information that is not of sufficient encyclopedic interest to be an integral part of Wikipedia.

There are multiple facets to this site. It captures details on individuals—both historically significant people and the everyday people usually not listed in encyclopedias, histories, or even "people's histories"—as well as providing other information, such 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 multiple cultures and regions over four Hemispheres.
