But no matter how simplified the data can be displayed, if you show it to your family, they just don't get it, i..e.. who married who, who's father is this, is this the one who died after her blood turned to water...
But they're ( non genealogists ) are right; it should be simplified and possibly even more than it is now. The one key is to not include the children of your great great granduncle ( or whoever ) - that'll confuse everyone.
I've seen family trees online to which I am included as a member, yet I haven't the slightest goddamned clue who the submitter is nor his relationship to myself. What are they trying to do? Make an entire tree from every member of the planet, eventually reaching Adam and Eve? Can you imagine? The project would take so long that you'd have to finish it in your next 25 reincarnate lives - if that's what you believe in. Don't forget: there's a lot of begatting in the Old Testament. You'd have to become a Begat Master.
