I’m a few weeks into experimenting with Gramps here. Being “the guy in the family that does family history stuff” I got hit up over the holidays with an ask for an updated family tree. In the past I’ve shared Ancestor Trees with a primary photo & standard key facts - people know how to read them, the photo catches the eye, etc. I’ve not found a gramplet that supports this however. Am I missing it? Is there one in beta somewhere? Is there some other graphical report recommended for the wow factor for the casual reader? Related - historically as I’m researching a particular line I’ve often printed (usually to PDF) a… (I don’t know the correct term) – direct ancestor+spouse chart, eg. me to my 14-gg with two people per generation. Is there some way to achieve this? Thanks, Steve Gramps 5.23 on LinuxMint ---

I think the “narrated web site” report is the most impressive. ---

The ‘Interactive Family Tree’: [https://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Addon:Interactive\_Family\_Tree](https://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Addon:Interactive_Family_Tree) is fun. The way it rearranges itself as you click on each person is a definite 'Wow" for the casually interested. The ‘Dynamic Web’ report is also comprehensive and includes ‘coloured pictures’ (i.e. trees) that should impress the casual reader : [https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Addon:DynamicWeb\_report](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Addon:DynamicWeb_report) NB there is also a ‘Dynamic Web B’ report in development, which considerably enhances this current Dynamic Web report. It’s not ready yet but it is very promising. See this topic: > [@Dynamic Web Report B](https://gramps.discourse.group/t/dynamic-web-report-b/6712): > > I’m very interested by that version B of DWR I’ve discovered with Ulrich post. DWR (the standard A version) which I use as my main genealogy website. But I’ve also seen on github that version is 4 years old, so before current Gramps version. This brings me to a few questions: Does this version work with the current version of Gramps? Could it be deployed by the Gramps developers as the version that ships with Gramps instead of the current one? ---

Thanks for putting me onto these, I hadn’t seen Narrated Web included an ancestor tree, and I like that web report overall; can see using it in the future. The tree that’s there is essentially what I’m looking for, however, for my specific at-a-glance use case, doesn’t quite fit the bill – I need something I can just hand off to them, such as a PDF or another simple document. Unfortunately, when I try to save this webpage out to a PDF the rendering of the tree drops out so that’s not working. However… using Interactive Family Tree → Topola seems to render well for the quick overview impression that I’m going for. Thanks! ---
