Is there a text report that alphabetically lists all ancestors with the pedigree to a specified person?
I’d like to create a Calendar or event report to give to a family member. When reading the calendar or event report, they might not be familiar with the person referenced.
Something like the End-of-Line report, but all ancestors and list alphabetically, would be quick and easy to cross reference.
Thank you
Have you tried the Kinship Report? If the number of people is small enough, there may be no need to alphabetize the list. But if you set the Report Options > Document Options > Output Format to OpenDocument Text, you can manually add an alphabetical index at the end of the report.
Those 2 requirements don’t quite go together.
It would make sense to have either:
David⁴ Jᴏɴᴇs. (Charlie³ Jᴏɴᴇs, Alice², Bob¹ Sᴍɪᴛʜ)
Or if you wanted a list to sort on Surnames:
Jᴏɴᴇs, David (Charlie³ Jᴏɴᴇs, Alice², Bob¹ Sᴍɪᴛʜ)
You can create a Book of several types of reports and include an alphabetical index so people are cross-referenced.
I interpreted his interest as different than that. Lookups are OK.
But a sorted list where you can grok how the "Fred"s (or "Smith, John"s) are distributed at a glance seems to be the objective.
And you get the alphabetical list with index. The index will point you to the page where you can find John Smith in every variation of report.
Here is a quick book I put together. Obviously, the exact reports used can be different
You set up the options for each report in the book just as you would if printing the report as a stand-alone report. The index will apply for all reports in the book.
And the Index can be put at the start of the “Book” if that is preferable.
Sorry, my lack of familiarity with genealogy terms isn’t helping. I also realise after posting that I want to see the relation between all people with common ancestors as person X.
The format you’ve shown here looks interesting, but if I understand your post history, a report like this doesn’t exist in Gramps.
I don’t see a report in the book that displays the data.
Although it’s a graphic report, the Relationship Graph with the filter Relationship path between works.
Is there a way to automatically generate multiple graphs with path filters for (person X) and (people with common ancestors with person X)?
The “Book” I suggested is a combination of existing Gramps Text and Graphical Reports. If you find some of these reports helpful, then you can combine them into a “Book”.
I stopped using these printed reports and now only use the Narrated Web report to share with my relatives. It is basically a web site you create from the entire database or just the branch of the tree for a specific person.
I do NOT publish the created web site to the internet. I give the relative the website on a thumb drive. They can access it from the thumb drive or copy the site to a folder on the hard drive. The hard drive option is best because you can then drop a shortcut onto the desktop to easily access the site.
One of the options when you create the site is to set a Center person. Then every other person’s page can tell how they are related to the center person.
This would ultimately meet your informational needs. Unknown is your family member’s ability to access and navigate such a site.
There are many option you can use to create the Narrated Wed site. It may take you several attempts to experiment with the options to get the output exactly right.
