Your family
One day we were talking about creating a community genealogy site to help people track family trees, and we came up with this wacky feature on 43 People:
Your family (or rather, my family).
You can add your parents, your children, your pets, significant others, and even exes. Check out Brad Pitt’s family.
If your parents have parents, they’ll show up as grandparents on your page, and if your children have children, they’ll show up as grandchildren.
This feature is a bit hidden at the moment, but give it a try and see if anything funny or surprising happens. We’ll probably continue to fiddle with it, so let us know if you’d like to see anything else family related on any of our sites.
Bonus family feature
If your family members have 43 Things accounts, you can filter All Consuming activity to show only items consumed and being consumed by family members. Just select “by people in my family” in the second dropdown (you’ll have to be logged in to see the dropdown).

Only two out of my four grandparents show up
Not positive why. Fix my bug! or not.
I was also looking for a community geneology site to track family trees, and hoped for an implementation just like the one you’ve got here. So thanks for that.
