The data that I have entered in GRAMPS has some individuals who are connected/related to only a few others in my study and some individuals who seem to be related/connected to nearly everyone else. I have diagrammed a couple of individuals to illustrate that difference.

I would like to “crawl” through my data and determine the number of connections (as I would define them, i.e., marriage, in-laws, home town, etc). Are there any add-on tools that might do this work?

There have been a number of discussions on this forum about external tools to graphically represent [node networks](https://gramps.discourse.group/search?q=Node) from exported GEDCOMs. (As well as discussions about the need for an export in a more capable format for such tools.)

That’s good for spotting gross trends and edge cases.

Take a look at this [general discussion of open source software for network analysis](https://www.researchgate.net/post/Which-open-source-software-is-best-for-network-data-analysis).
