Inconsistent Timeline entries for married couple's children birth events

Gramps Web
1

Hello,

I have noticed something strange. There is a family that has both a Mother, Father, and a Son. The son’s birth event shows up in the Mother’s timeline, but not he Father’s. Both parents were alive for the birth event.

I’ve checked other families and this issue is not appearing consistently, and nothing is sticking out as different between families where a child’s birth event shows up in both parents’ timelines vs families where it may be missing in one parent’s timeline.

I am running gramps web on Debian 12.
Gramps 5.2.4
Gramps Web API 2.8.2
Gramps Web Frontend 25.3.0

Can you check if the child ref has child reference type “birth” to the father?

Yes, before I posted I removed the child from the family and made sure “birth” was the relationship to both parents.

To debug, can you please post the full JSON that is returned by /api/people/?gramps_id=... (possibly with sensitive values redacted)? You can find it by opening the browser developer tools (F12), going to the network tab, and reloading the person view.

Hey @DavidMStraub, sorry to @ you but wondered if you had a chance to see the JSON I shared.

Hi,

thanks for sharing, I had a look but did not find anything suspicious and am still puzzled by the problem. I wasn’t able to reproduce it in my tree so far.

Thanks. Are the timelines stored in the backend or are they generated dynamically each time the timeline tab is rendered? I’m curious to poke around in the relevant code a little bit.
