Incomplete names & Disconnected individuals

Gramps 5.1.5
Ubuntu 22.10

After importing gedcom I received in gramplet ‘Statistics’ following:

Incomplete names: 21
Disconnected individuals: 37

What is that and how can it be resolved?

The Disconnected people are singletons that are not connected to anyone else.

You can find these people by creating a custom Person filter with the rule: Disconnected People

There may be other people that form an island. You probably built your database starting with the main person and then building from that person out, and up, and down. All people connected even though some may not be related to each other.

But you may have small islands of people and families not connected to that main web of people. These people could have been added because their name is part of your main tree and from the same area but you have never made the actual connections.

There is a Not Related tool (menu >> Tools >> Utilities …Not Related)

It works off of the active person and finds people and families that cannot be navigated back to the active person. Once you find these people, tagging them is a good option to easily find them again.

And again, for people with Incomplete Names there is a Person filter rule: People with incomplete names.

Basicly people with no Surname or a Given name.
