{{man label|Ancestors Map}} ('''GeoAncestor''') is an interactive {{icon|geog}}{{man label|[[Gramps_{{Version manualman version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Geography_Category|Geography]]}} category addon view mode that plots tagged pins on a Map at the Places associated with Ancestors of the [[Gramps_Glossary#home_person|Home Person]].
== Usage ==
Before using the view, navigate to the [[Gramps_Glossary#active_person|Active Person]] you want use with the [[Gramps_{{Version manualman version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Geography_Category|Geography]] Category view to map the Event Places associated with a different Person's Ancestors.
=== Map Pins ===
The objective is to find the Places of Events of Ancestors of the [[Gramps_Glossary#home_person|Home Person]]. Which is 4 stages of filtering and installing the "Active Person" addon filter.
You can set up a [[Example_filters|multi-stage of filter]] that shows only Places for Ancestors & [[Gramps_{{Version manualman version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#.E2.9A.99_Configuration_Options|configure the Places Category view]] to show the Longitude & Latitude columns. This will tell you how many of Ancestor related Places will be omitted from being plotted on the map.
For this multi-stage custom filter, create the following Cascade of custom filters:
# Create a Person custom Filter "ActivePerson" using the "Active Person" addon Person General rule.
# Person custom Filter "ActiveAncestors" using [[Gramps_{{Version manualman version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Filters#Ancestral_filters|Ancestral filter]] "Ancestors of <filter> match"; filter=ActivePerson <br>''You might add a 2nd rule to include the Active Person and then select the "[[Gramps_{{Version manualman version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Filters#Define_Filter_dialog#multiple_rule_options|At least one rule must apply]]" option. Otherwise, the Events & Places of the Active Person might be omitted''# Events custom Filter "ActiveAncestorEvents" using [[Gramps_{{Version manualman version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Filters#Events_Category_2|Events General filter]] "Events of persons matching the <person filter>"; person filter=ActiveAncestors# Places custom Filter "ActiveAncestorEventPlaces" using [[Gramps_{{Version manualman version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Filters#Places_Category_2|Places General filter]] "Places of events matching the <event filter>"; event filter=ActiveAncestorEvents
{{man tip| 1=Making Filters that are more reusable|2=You could build this using a Person custom filter set to the builtin Default Person (a.k.a. [[Gramps_Glossary#home_person|Home Person]]) General rule. That would more directly correspond to this addon Geography view mode.<br><br>But a custom Filter using the "Active Person" addon Person General rule is much more flexible. It stays synchronized to the Person being edited instead of continually resetting the Home Person designation or editing a rule that had been preset to a specific PersonID.<br><br>'' Download and use the incredibly useful addon Person General Rule that was created in early 2020. It replaces the awkward PersonID based rules and makes Custom Filters MUCH more dynamic. Thanks Paul!''}}
