[edit] Tree diagrams

There should be a link to the family tree article, I would hate finding something I couldn´t understand in an enciclopedia.

[edit] Inconsistency

In the table with the names, birthday, death-day and age at death it says Guru Amar Das lived to 95. However, in the timeline with the years in which they lived it says he lived to be 30-50. Huh?

Arkracer

The timeline indicates period of guruship, not the age of the Guru. Sukh | ਸੁਖ | Talk 00:29, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
