Question for people who like to geek out about Merkle trees. Anti-crypto comments will be ignored.

If a P2P network is storing genealogical records, it does need universal consensus, right? Alice can't be the daughter of Bob in one part of the network, and daughter of Johan in another part.

Does that mean this is legitimate use case for a BlockChain? Or could you use something like HoloChain?
