Wolfram Alpha is a "Computational Knowledge Engine" (whatever one of those is), but to me it's like a cross between a very smart web calculator and a search engine.
Anyway today I noticed they show as an example "genealogy" this allows you to type in a sentence describing a relationship, and the web engine will draw it out to help make more sense.
It's probably more of a novelty, but it might be useful to some.
It's not a commercial site as far as I'm aware so I'll include an example link.

Or just type into the search bit something like fifth cousin twice removed
Result www.
