Around the time that v6.0 was released, I was contacted by FamilySearch asking if we were interested in working more closely together to provide a solution to integrate Gramps and FamilySearch. This would probably involve transferring data through the FamilySearch public API. I am aware that there…

I don’t know who Avatar Simulator or AirbenderProdigy are, two usernames used on YouTube and Reddit respectively to publish and share this video of a new Gramps-FamilySearch integration, but since this thread is here, I’ll post the link to the video: [gramps plugin video example]

The gramplet approach taken in the video is the way I would have started. They use attributes to store identifiers, datestamps and other information from FamilySearch, which is sensible. The import, export and compare functionality is also what I would have expected. I would welcome people like t…

Hi! I think your suggestions are good. Bulk importing families and children/spouses/parents is definitely possible. I also considered adding a feature that checks the “last modified date” attribute of each Person’s imported source from FamilySearch, and then make a report telling you which sources …

[image] SourceAirbender: there also may be information added by someone else that’s incorrect. Hate to be picky, but shouldn’t that read, “there also may will be information added by someone else that’s incorrect.” :winking_face_with_tongue:
