I have successfully developed a personal genealogy database with Postgres in combination with PHP. In its current form, it's hardly more than a prototype, and it would take an awful lot of work to make it into a seamless interface for a non-technical user. But I really love it. In general, I think the world is rapidly heading towards online storage solutions for this kind of database stuff, and it may well be the Next Big Thing[TM] in database applications. The mainstream genealogy programs still use a Nineties model, where the data is stored on the user's HDD, typically in a dinky flat-file system. I think that is scary. The world needs quality storage systems for this kind of data, and Postgres absolutely has a niche to fill here.
