tim, i'm cleaning old mail and stumbled across this.  for famliy
history, you might want to take a look at this novel extension of exhibit:
http://www.werelate.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ShowPedigree&pagetitle=Person:Christene_Taylor_%283%29
they haven't released it back into the exhibit codebase (though I would
love them to) but you might be able to contact them about making use of
it on your site.
