Most of the time, I copy the output from Pedigree gramplet for myself and the cousin to a wordprocessor and then reformat for printing. Then trim back the unrelated ancestors (and their spouses) to eliminate distractions.
But none of these are both quick and easy-to-grasp for casually sharing with that cousin.
I’m hoping I’ve missed something similar. Ideally, it would have the clarity of sharing Families instead of just Individuals between the cousins. (Blended families can make the line of Individuals too ambiguous.)
Relationship graph with custom filter “relationship path between people”. The two people for the filter have to be selected manually. I don’t think that there is an automated way right now if you want to do it for a large number of people.
I’ve used that (and it is one of the options list above). But the filtered graph has bunches of weird spurs that take nearly as much explaining as text.
But the graphs renders with a bunch of extra nodes with marriage dates. These only connect to the one spouse found by the filter. They don’t connect to a child.
It looks like a voodoo doll with lots of pins stuck in it!
The chart on the right is what RelativeFinder generates. On the left is a slight variation that seems more understandable.
The lefthand modified 2 cousin pedigree has a bit more white space down the centerline that makes it look more like 2 sets of 2 columns instead of 1 set of 4 columns. And I dropped the saturation of the parent outside of the blood relationship. (The chart is my supposed relationship to Pres. George Washington.)
I can get a rough graph between cousins using a workaround in the experimental Consanguinity gramplet by @ukulelehans Hans Boldt.
Start by creating a temporary family with the cousins as ‘partners’. In the following example with the British royal family, I created a Family with Queen Elizabeth II and her 2nd cousin once removed, Alice of Battenberg. (The cousin graph could have been illustrated with the existing marriage to Philip. They are 3rd cousins. But that wouldn’t demonstrate the use of a temporary family.)
The Relationship in the Spousal consanguinity tab (in Notebook mode) describes the distances and removes. graph shows the diagram. Clicking that Relationship description will graph.
The experimental FTV is going to be the answer to this request. Or possibly a variant with lower overhead, spun out to visualize pruned subsets (a proxy?) instead of the whole tree.
