## The problem

Vietnamese history is full of figures connected by marriage and lineage, and there is no tool that lets someone follow those connections with a source behind each step. The information exists, scattered across biographies and encyclopedias.

## The approach

Search a name, see a visual family tree, and ask for the path between two people. Every fact links back to where it came from, and the data is open so anyone can correct it.

## Where it is now

Live at wikipath.app as an early version with a seed dataset, open for corrections.

## What happens if this works

Genealogy of public figures becomes open, sourced data rather than something repeated without a citation.

## Evidence

- [Seed dataset of about 6,000 people, 250 biographies and 1,500 portraits](https://wikipath.app)
