Genealogy uses for Wolfram Alpha

[Erlang]

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.
wolframalpha.com/input/?i=fifth+cousin+twice+removed"]http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=fifth+cousin+twice+removed
