Hi Marc and GeoNames users!

Is it possible to use Geonames to get a city's geographic hierarchy rather than an administrative hierarchy?

Examples:
The geographic hierarchy for Honolulu would be:
North America > United States > Hawaii > Oahu Island > Honolulu County > Honolulu
(currently Oahu Island is classified as an Island so it is not in the parentage of Honolulu)

The geographic hierarchy for Napa would be:
North America > United States > California > Napa Valley > Napa County > Napa
(currently Napa Valley is classified as a Valley so it is not in the parentage of Napa)

Thanks for shepherding this wonderful project!
Tracy

This is not yet available for lack of data.
