The Consanguinity gramplet is an add-on for the People views of Gramps. (When installed, this gramplet will be an option for the following views: People, Relationships, Charts, and Geography.

Select the Consanguinity menu option from the Gramplet selection menus after pressing the ∨ (Down Arrowhead button) in the view's sidebar or bottombar.

• Single pane (default); a combined line of Active Person with spouse(s).
• Notebook; a tabbed view with each person separated. Shown in Figure 1.
• Copy - copies the text of the window to the OS clipboard.
• Display pedigrees - opens a tabbed window with ahnenlist numbered Ancestors. There will be a tab for each spouse

When detached (undocked), the floating dialog also has:

Example

The sample tree included with Gramps includes a few instances of Pedigree Collapse.

So to reproduce this diagram, import the example.gramps file to a new tree.

Importing can create a mess! Be careful that you do NOT import example data into your own Family tree. Cleaning out the contamination would be troublesome. Always double-check which tree is already loaded before importing a file.

Switch to the People View via the navigator bar. Find Piatt D. Warner and make him the Active Person. (By selecting that row.)

Switch to the Relationships View via the navigator bar. Add the Consanguinity gramplet to the view's sidebar as described in the Usage section above. Resize the width the sidebar so that the contents fit comfortably.

Explore the common ancestry

Since Piatt D. Warner is the Active Person, the contents of the Consanguinity gramplet will be in the Single Pane mode (Figure 1 shows the Notebook mode where spouses are on separate pages) and look something like the following section. (Although the gramplet will have hotlinked People and Relationship.) The text below was created by clicking the Copy button and pasting it into this article.

Warner, Piatt D. (*9 Apr 1821, +11 Oct 1889)

Pedigree collapse for active person

Pedigree collapse at great grandparents:
	Warner, Edward (*6 Jan 1713, +27 Sep 1776)
	Anderson, Mary Molly (*1719, +20 Apr 1795)
	Relationship: second cousins once removed (down)
	Common ancestors:
		Christiansen, Edward (*1607, +1684)
		Thomas, Elizabeth (*1620, +1713)

Relationships between active person and partners

Partner: Fox, Julia Colville (*25 Dec 1823, +12 Feb 1904)
	Relationship: fifth cousins once removed (down)
	Common ancestors:
		Christiansen, Edward (*1607, +1684)
		Thomas, Elizabeth (*1620, +1713)
	Relationship: fifth cousins
	Common ancestors:
		Christiansen, Nathaniel (*15 May 1642, +21 Nov 1713)
		Grenier, Mary (*about 1638, +12 Jul 1703)

The hotlinks on the names of People will navigate the focus of Active Person selection to that person.

Clicking the described Relationship will open a block diagram of that instance of pedigree collapse and how it relates to the Active Person.

In the example shown in Figure 1, Piatt Warner's great grandparents (Edward Warner and Mary Molly Anderson have the Relationship: second cousins once removed (down) who are descended from the common ancestors, Edward Christiansen and Elizabeth Thomas. Clicking that relationship description opens a basic chart (shown in Figure 2) of that relationship and Piatt's relationship to them.
