Maybe not impossible, but highly difficult and unlikely.

Having watched my mother spend many months and years building an in depth family tree with complex arrangements I have come to the conclusion that 2D just isnt enough for such a thing. Specially as my brother has so many branches himself that cant be shown on a flat surface.

What I would hope to be able to create (with help) is a webpage using some kind of interface (flash is all I can think of) showing a 3d representation of this data and would probably end up looking more like a tree. I tried a small mockup drawing but it looked rubbish cause of my poor art skills, and wouldnt have helped this discussion.
I had a google around but the only 3D trees available out there are a load of rubbish and not what I am looking for at all! So has anyone had any experiance in something like this?
 
What about using Google Sketchup?
Just a thought, but its faaaar easier to create a 3D image in a 3D program, than in flash.
 
Now that looks pretty cool! I was not aware stuff like that was out there lol. But this is why I made this thread!
