Relationship diagram showing how two persons are related

Open dror3go opened this issue 10 months ago • 3 comments

I frequently want to understand my/other's relation to person X in my tree. In simple relations - this is easy, as all the relevant persons appear in the tree view. However, in some more complex situations it gets more relevant. MyHerigate solved it nicely with their relationship diagram feature, and I was wondering if this is something of interest for Gramps Web.

Yes, this feature also exists in Family Tree Maker. You can choose a Person A (eg. myself) and another person and it tells you: "This is your cousin 2nd degree, through this people."

That would be a great feature, as most people in who serving a family tree are interested in this. How am I related to someone? 💯

It would also fit really well to the new DNA view to visualize relation between two matches.

The good news is, I think it doesn't take too much to implement because we already have a quite powerful relationship graph.

What would be a good place to access it? I think cluttering the main menu with "relationship" is overkill. Perhaps a button in the person view?

Yes, on the person view should be good place.
