The number doesn't matter if you design you db well (I suppose we are
talking database).
I suppose that you have a table with members with unique ID's?
Make a new table with relatives, where you connect to their parents
through a ParentID-field
This way you'll avoid empty fields for the folks with eg. only 2 sons :-)
The query for father + sons and daughters would then be like
mysql_query("
select members.Name, members.ID, relatives.Name as RelativeName,
relatives.ID
from parents, relatives
where parents.ID = relatives.ParentID
")
The “members” table will have one memberID field (which will be

You _can_ put them all in the same table, but I suppose that you have a
lot of data stored on the parents/members, that is non-existing and
irellevant for the children - this will give a lot of empty fields,
which is why i propose the solution above...

It's easy to select only rows with contents for at certain field:
select * from relatives
where Name <> 0
I hope this was of some help?
