This plugin transforms your WordPress install into a Wiki for keeping your family history.
In wp-admin go to Settings → Reading and set a static homepage. The plugin also adds an option I would like my site to be private, visible only to myself and users I choose which will usually be an option you’ll want to use since only registered users should be allowed to edit.
Create new users with Wiki User (can edit pages) or Wiki Editor (can also delete pages). Unfortunately otherwise only the roles Editor or Administrator will allow them to edit pages.
If you created a calendar page, set the option family_wiki_calendar_page, for example with the cli command wp option add family_wiki_calendar_page /Calendar, then the dates will be linked to that page.
