thePeerage.com, "A genealogical survey of the peerage of Britain as well as the royal families of Europe", is a compilation of over seven hundred thousand linked profiles that uses published works such as Burke's Peerage and Baronetage. Compiled by one resident of New Zealand (who started in 1988 with Debrett’s Peerage, 1949), it is boosted by correspondence and a well-supported forum.
There are ten profiles per page, with pop-ups showing as many as 14 ancestors (with birth and death years) per person. Profiles show dates of birth or death if known, and the usual parent and child detail, plus spouses' parents' names and frequently much detail about the individual's positions and honours. Regrettably, there seem to be no descendant tables. Come back to Familypedia for them!
Citing it as a source can be by simply pasting the URL or by using {{thepeerage}}.
