I think that Kintetsubuffalo Chris has a good point when he says that the article reads more like a family genealogy but I don t think that the solution is to trim out the less notable people On the contrary they have a place in the story of the family but the significance of their role intends up being uninentionally overstated by the article s structure The genealogy is clearly an important part of the article but I suggest that it should be at the bottom of the article in the place where an appendix would be in a book What the article needs I suggest is a clear narrative telling of the story of the family s activities That could be done either thematically e g politics medicine industry or chronologically or maybe by a combination of both approaches Vernon has clearly done a lot of excellent research and has plenty of useful material with which to tell the story here and I would really enjoy reading the story once it s written up I have been looking for a few articles which might serve as examples of how this might be done and found a few which might help Rothschild banking family of England the best I found Bulmer family a much weaker article but it tells a story Mitford family narrative a bit short but heading in the right direction German sisters more integrated than the Mitfords Smalbroke family chronologially ordered and somewhat genealogical in focus but does tell a story Hope this helps But in the meantime I have removed the notability tag because notability doesn t actually seem to be in question talk contribs
