Multiple root nodes #595

Closed rctneil closed 1 year ago

rctneil commented 1 year ago

Hi,

Is it possible to have multiple root nodes?

Eg, in a family tree environment, say you had two brothers but didn't have their parent information. Both brothers would be at the root.

you can have multiple root nodes. They wouldn't know that they are brothers. They would look like independent entities until they both set a common parent.
