Just a small statement on exceptions: While exceptions are a great tool in the C++ language, the base class of all DUNE exceptions is a show stopper on performance. DUNE exceptions are easy to use when something is not implemented and the program should be aborted anyway. But writing something into a stringstream just to tell the user that there is no father (which should have the same performance as the if-statement suggested above), is an absolute waste of computation time, because the user will (should) only check for the exceptions's type anyway.
