Familypedia:Mission

The idea started with a desire to collection, collate and co-relate of genealogies from the Muslim world and South Asia (and beyond; there's a lot of overlap) and overlaying them with Sufi Initiation Chains (the chain of initiation into the Sufi fold that every Sufi Master has and which goes back to The Prophet) and then adding allied information like the meanings and histories of names, places and events that might merit mention in, for example, the Wikipedia.

A starting focus is on South Asia and the Middle East, but it is not intended to limit this Wiki to those regions. Part of the motivation in starting this database is to help bring home to people that this really is one planet and always has been; exchanges of ideas, inventions, and even people have been constant through history.

And finally, an impossibly goal that is worth the effort, the creation of a global genealogy tree with everyone on Earth.
