The This Day In Family History Gramplet gives you a view into your family history by searching through your family tree's events and presenting you with a concise report of the user defined list of events that happened on this day and month.
Contents
Features
- Choose from a list of Gramps events to report on
- Filter the list between living and deceased members of your family tree
- Sort the list by year, participant name, event location, event type, gramps ID
- Click through on the individual to inspect their record
Usage
After installing the gramplet you can proceed with the default options or access the Configure Dashboard to choose your preferred options. The gramplet will appear on your Dashboard, no further learning curve required.
Definition of deceased persons for filtering
For the purposes of this gramplet if a person has an event that suggests that they are not living they will be considered deceased. The events that will cause a person to be considered deceased are: burial, cremation, death, cause of death, and will.
Installation Prerequisites
- Designed and tested with Gramps 5.0, no other external programs required.
Issues
- None known
Feature requests
Some of the ideas to be implemented in future versions of the gramplet:
- Expand the location to include the full hierarchical name.
- Detect if a marriage listed under multiple People, instead of as a Family event, refer to the same event and merge the notice instead of listing them individually.
- Sort on multiple criteria, e.g. first by event type then by event year.
