User blog:Robin Patterson/Two billion people could have their family trees on Familypedia right now

I have just responded to a staff blog post with the following:


 * ... most of the two billion people online could have their parents and grandparents and more distant ancestors listed on Familypedia, which would make it a world leader. Sites such as Geni.com are working towards having a network of relationships linking every person whose vital statistics have ever been recorded. Wikia should be up there with them, but its software is currently unable to do it properly for even 30,000 individuals. There's a challenge for Wikia staff.
