report-writing: two start-persons

Hello all,
I'm trying to play with an idea I had which is a report of lines of descendancy or ancestry between an ancestor and a descendant. Initially I thought of a DAR-like report but for starters something like this: 1. John Doe m. Mary Lou 2. Jane Doe m. Jack Jones 3. James Jones m. Susan Smith 4. Jim Jones So that's a line of descendancy between John Doe and Jim Jones. So I'm thinking I take two people as arguments. Except I'm not sure that's possible. Is it easy and I'm not seeing it? All reports seem to take a single person as start-person. Thanks --lcc Powered by the 6zap.

This specific idea sounds like the Deep Connections Gramplet [1] which uses the Home person and the Active person. I don't think that there are any reports that would have you select two people, but you should be easily able to have two options to select two people (and home and active might make nice defaults). See also the feature request on "spidering" [2] for selecting these people as a filter. -Doug [1] Deep Connections Gramplet, docs, and source: http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Deep_Connections_Gramplet http://gramps.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gramps/trunk/src/plugins/gramplet/DeepConnections.py?view=log [2] http://www.gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=3240 > Thanks --lcc > > > Powered by the 6zap.

The only > simple way I can think of is "enter two GRAMPS IDs". Perhaps that's it. No, it is even easier. There is a PersonOption that allows you to select a person from the database (starts showing active person, I think, but allows you to check all to widen the selection). There might be some issue having two PersonOptions, but give it a try. -Doug > --lcc > > On Wed, 10/21/2009 at 9:04pm, "Doug Blank" <doug.blank@...> wrote: >> On Wed, Oct 21, 2009 at 6:22 PM, lcc <lcc@...> wrote: >>> Hello all, >>> >>> I'm trying to play with an idea I had which is a report of lines of >>> descendancy or ancestry between an ancestor and a descendant.

I like this idea. It relates
to something that I think would be useful in the NAVWEB reports, that
it is possible to start with a couple / family group and not just an
individual when producing the report. Maybe other reports as well, but
I'd have to look at them to find which we would find this useful in.
