I am curerntly up to the Dukes of Bedford (so still a long way to go through the alphabet).
Note that I have been slowly adding extracts of biogrpahical entries for the more famous individuals, souced mostly from the old edition of the Dictionary of National Biography. This multi-volume dictionary has 44,000 entries over the last 100 years, so is an incredible resource (I have added only about 200 so far, but most of the 44,000 people should make it into my database eventually).
I decided I didn't like the format with names reading 'Friedrich Graf von Hohenlohe-Weikersheim (of the House of Hohenlohe)', and am slowly switching all of these names back to simply 'Friedrich Graf von Hohenlohe-Weikersheim'. However I am also adding a tag to each person to record their House name as a surname e.g. adding a tag with the surname Hohenlohe in the above case. That way, a separate entry in the index under Hohenlohe will show up for the person, making them a little easier to find in the index.
