Hi Lea!
I've been musing over a family tree like this recently.
I figure if the nodes were placed absolutely using pixels,
then a "body' BG with skinny black lines could be made, to
'connect' the nodes. A gif this simple would have low
bandwidth, even if huge. Non-image methods might be possible,
but it would be VERY tricky. My head hurts just thinking
about it.
