Brief Explanation

As you can see above, the page is organized in a tree, where upwards is towards earlier times. The bottom row on this page thus shows my siblings and I, and moving up we have relations going further back. Note that this tree is not complete (sometimes only the direct ancestors are shown). Often, however, more detail is given when you click on a name. For example, the page that is linked to my uncle's name will show a tree that includes my cousins. For this type of thing html is the perfect tool!
