Academic Tree

In academia, your father is your dissertation advisor and his other graduate students are your siblings. The Mathematics Genealogy Project keeps track of all this data like an ancestry.com for math phd's. I wrote a quick python browser for scraping the online database and visualizing the trees, below on the left is Hilbert's geneology and on the right is my own, which goes back about 36 generations (a readable pdf version is rendered below).
