Hi Achild. I wanted to let you know that I am (or will) delete the House of Adam page as I do not think that is quite the best format for genealogy. There are several issues with making an actual seperate article for families, one specific issue is the boundaries of someone's family. For House of Adam some may argue it ends at Adam's grandchildren some may say it should go all the way down to Jesus (as shown in Luke 3:38). Different genealogies are recorded with the same information, but different intentions in recording those. With the one provided by Luke is used to compare Jesus's place in genealogy, whereas a Table of Nations is meant to document the genealogy of people who started particular nations.

Rather I think it should be more of an inline thing that talks about how a particular person themselves is involved in genealogy (that a person had that child, that a person was living when their child had their grandchild etc). The format which you are presenting would be much better suited for use in data and in things like family tree charts. I like the ideas but many of them are beyond the technical capabilties and skills that we currently have to use them effectively. I would reccomend right now the best way to document genealogy is to go on infoboxes and fill out the genealogical section (parents, offspring, siblings). I can tell you are excited by genealogy but as I mentioned in the paragraph above is hard to have a distinct page on a certain set of genealogy.
