There was a Census Check Quickview in an older version of gramps that is not in the Forms Addon distro anymore (not sure why it was removed). I still use it to see who has and has not completed a relevant census (via the Forms gramplet). It does list every census, so can get unwieldy if you use lots of different census forms (like I do).
Simply put, it checks the active person and family to see if there is a Census Form entered.
OK = census entered using Forms
miss = alive but no census entered with Forms
â-â = not alive
No, I only have the python and gpr files. They have to be in the same folder as the Forms gramplet, so either released with it or parallel to it. It imports the code from the Forms gramplet.
It might have been called CensusCheck. I suspect I just changed the version number to keep it working and manually copied to the Forms plugin folder.
Thanks to a copy of the source in eMail from Gary, was able to track things a little further. The 2018 posting to the Gramps User Maillist of the v1.0.2 update of the Quickview report was shared as code quoted in the maillist message by @prculley . (The maillist does not allow attachments. So people had to be creative.)
We still need to find how Tim Lyons (aka kulath) shared it originally in 2016.
The Quickview report addon modules have been added to the Feature Request 0010388: âMissing in Census reportâ
Perhaps someone familiar with Forms could build a sample? Then we could use it for reference in this (and other) Form discussions.
Dr. Sharon Tosi Lacey (Chief Historian, US Census Bureau) has done several presentations on manually research of US Census. (No software.) If we use the same data, we wouldnât have to have any discussion or training on the origins or structure of the source data. We just link to her introduction.

Is there a way to link Media to URLs instead of suffering the complexity of distributing a .gpkg with media objects?
That makes a good foundation for exploring some features. The other redacted Quickview has a timeline of columns with entries like âMissingâ and blanks. How can those be included in the example?
@GaryGriffin
That helped expand the example capture. How did you have âClosedâ items?
Decided that the layout was too wordy. So swapped out the âClosedâ, âMissâ, âOKâ and nDash results with symbols.
It also has a glitch in the Context menu building. Instead of âSee the person detailsâ details, the linking cannot be set to that the row object is a âPersonâ. So the stab.set_link_col(4) just makes a deadlink menu option with the title âSee See details detailsâ instead. And setting the index to the 0 index column for the person does not help. (Used the Timeline QR addon as an example.)
There are no entries in the Ingalls family that are âClosedâ. If person is alive (with default of 100 yo) and should be in a census, they are marked as Closed.
Imagine someone born in 1930s who does not have a death date. They would be marked Closed on the 1940 and 1950 census.
I thought with the 1790 census enabled, the Ingalls would all have been outside its âprobably aliveâ limit. (Charles and Caroline both being born nearly 50 later with exact dates.)
Let me clarify. For the 1790 census, the Ingalls would all be a dash since they were not alive at the time of that census.
Think of CLOSED as âfor privacy reasons, we do not display this infoâ. Are they maybe alive NOW (no death date AND birth date less than 100 years ago FROM TODAY) AND not in a census where they should be alive.
For ALL census in the US, the Ingalls would be either
