Though I'm all for it in most cases, Access is probably not an ideal choice.
You can view Access as a lumberyard - it's got boards, nails, saws, hammers
and so on; but what you want is a storage shed with all the bins and shelves.
A geneology database is NOT a trivial undertaking!

There are many prewritten, tested and proven geneology programs available.
This is probably a project that would be better served by buying or obtaining
one off the shelf, rather than building your own.

I'd use http://www.google.com to search for geneology programs (and for
reviews and comments on them).

I would take John's answr to be in the contex of the OP, who, it sounds like,
doesn't currently know Access didn't want to tackle learning Access, much
less tackle developing what would be one of the more abscract Access database
types.

I think that without the above conditions the answer would be different.
