Exporting Descendents and Families.

Rate this Message:
I'm building a web site from part of my family tree. To do this I'm using a program I've written which processes a Gedcom file. I store all of my data in Gramps (currently using 2.2.10 as that's what is included with Fedora). The part of the tree that I want is all of the descendants of a particular person. That's simple to do as Gramps allows me to export exactly that as a Gedcom file. But having done that and generated the web pages from the Gedcom, it all looks a bit sparse. The problem is that I get no complete families (as it's quite rare for two descendants to marry). So it seems that what I really want, is a way to export all descendants of a particular person plus all of their spouses. Another way to look at it is that I want all descendants along with both of their parents. I'm sure I did this once before, but I can't remember how I did it, or what software I used. Has anyone done this before? Am I missing a simple option in Gramps? Any help much appreciated.

Try the 'Descendant family members of' filter option under the Descendant filters. It "Matches people that are descendants or the spouse of a descendant of a specified person".

Hey Dave, why not write your little app to parse the GRAMPS XML file?
Someone already has an XSL stylesheet thingy which helps do that. WHo was that?
