Hello,
Greetings to all. Am a very new user running Version .10 beta on MX-Linux. Previously using Gramps and only a few problems (fixable) in transferring data to Ancentris.
It would be interesting to know which problems you encountered, and that way we could improve the Gramps importation code.
One query is how to best display persons with multiple spouses. For example: A Victorian family where a husband has married again after the early death of his first wife. The children of both relationships were brought up as a single family.
You should not see all children of both families, gathered. For example if a man has got two spouses, you should see for the first marriage the children the couple has got, and if you click on the "+" sign on the right, you should see the children of the second marriage. The fact the children were brought up as a single family is a way of life of that family. The gedcom specifications don't give a specific tag for such a thing. So you have 4 options imho : 1 - you do nothing, 2 - you add a note to both weddings, 3 - you create a relationship between children, 4 - you add a Note to the father (it would be my choice) to say something like "All children of the man were brought up as a single family, were brought up together.
Been trying, without success as yet, to show both wives on a single family tree - is this possible ?
It's possible with the Graphical tree report, but it's not dynamic. If you want to see both wives together in the dynamic tree view, it's not yet possible. It's a request and it could be added in the future ;-)
Hope that helps. Francois
