    I've recently been very interested in my genealogy and was looking for a way to put it online for group collaboration. I've tried a couple sites out there that allow you to create your family tree, but none of them really felt right.

    Has anyone here ever created one? What did you use?

    If nobody has any good suggestions, I'm looking at possibly creating a WordPress theme/plugin similar to WP Contact Manager.

    I have been thinking about the same thing.
    I was thinking along the lines of a php script that will write data to a xml file. A xml file is already a tree structure and great for this type of data storage.
    You could create a form for adding new data to the file.
    You could display the data with flash or practically any other script capable of reading xml.

    That's as far as I got. I currently don't have the time to work on it but it's in the back of my mind for a project.

    Let us know what solution you come up with.

    I had something like your idea in mind too. I was think WP because it is out there and a lot of people know how to use it, but it seems like it would be hard to make it (the genealogy part) scalable.

    Bumping this to see if anyone missed it. I still haven't found something I like so I will probably be coding my own.
