If you are new to Data Models, this page of my new Tutorial will help you understand the Data Model.

There might also be a Data Warehouse, which is very useful for providing data for Analysis, Enquiries, Reports and Business Intelligence.

I always look for published standards in any area I am working in.
Here's a link to the GENTECH Genealogical Data Model, published by the not-for-profit National Genealogical Society.

Data Model for Genealogy A question on August 28th. 2012, from Stefan Wasem in Australia, made me take another look at my Genealogy Models. I decided I liked the one on this page, and also the Physical Data Model without Families.

But when I look at two more models, after a break of many years, they don't look right :-
  • a Conceptual Data Model with Families
  • a Conceptual Data Model without Families
