Abstract: In many worldwide countries, memories of beloved people that passed away and their family relationships are achieved mainly through genealogy applications. To well capture the memorial needs and habits of people, the genealogy trees should offer relevant aspects of people traditions. For example, in Asian, Africa, or Muslim countries a male person may have many wives and a woman may have during her life duration many partners. Another relevant and cultural aspect is the ethnic connection. In Africa countries, citizens of a given country that have the same cultural ethnicity, create ethnic groups to achieve common activities (development, funeral, marriages, births, education). In many popular genealogy applications () lack those services Also, when the number nodes of a family tree grow considerably, it becomes difficult to navigate through a genealogy tree. Current genealogy applications are not offering tree navigation services to visualize the tree per windows by reassigning the root node by a selected ancestor node and continue to explore the ancestor or to navigate by selecting an ancestor on a given tree level. In this paper, a genealogy protocol is defined and covers the multi-partners relation, family group and ethnic group identification, tree navigation by reassigning temporary the root person node, tree navigation by selecting a node at a specific tree level, handling of nodes redundancy, keep information of a beloved and deceased person in a multi-media format (text, audio and video) and maintain social groups of enrolled persons per family group, ethnic group debates help achieving family tree holes and collecting great quality of information. The paper describes the proposed genealogy protocol as well as its data model and architecture.
