The "Descendant Books" plugin addon consists of two book type plugins. addons:* {{man label|Descendant Book }} and * {{man label|Detailed Descendant Book.}}Both reports are based directly of off the [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports_-_part_6#Descendant_Report|Descendant Report ]] and [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports_-_part_6#Detailed_Descendant_Report|Detailed Descendant Report]]'s, the main difference beinginstead of just producing a report based on the Center Person, it allows for the use of a built in Query orCustom query. This idea is to produce as many descendant reports as is required to satisfy inclusion of allindividuals within the given query.
If for instance "Entire Database" is chosen as the query to use. Then the entire database is traversed anda unique list of ancestors is determined and then a descendant report for each of these ancestors is produced. As there is a potential to produce more than one report the best place to include these reports is under Books. If more than one report is produced a table of contents is generated to show how many reports there are.
If one only report is produced, no table of contents are generated.
=== Usage ===
* ''Descendant Book'' - menu {{man menu|Reports > Text Reports > Descendant Book}}
* ''Detailed Descendant Book'' - menu {{man menu|Reports > Text Reports > Detailed Descendant Book}}
=== Common uses ===
To date my most common usage is :
==== Entire Database ====
I find that running of either report using the Entire database is really useful for highlighting potential
people in my database that I've not linked up, dangling tree elements etc.
==== Ancestors of <person> ====
Again really useful to get a complete accurate picture of the entire family tree of an individual, pretty
much includes all cousins of this person. Up to now to print this you would first have to determine all the

=== Descendant Report, Suppress duplicate families ===
If an individual appears in more than one report, then a new section is printed under that person indicating all
the reports this person appears in.
=== Index of Names (Detailed Descendant Report) ===
The index of Names is the list of all Names that appear in the Detailed Descendant Report printed in alphabetical order. Next to each name there are all references to find the person in the single reports. The user can decide whether or not print this index.
=== Index of Dates (Detailed Descendant Report) ===
The index of Dates is the list of all events' dates in the Detailed Descendant Report printed in cronological order with the descriptions. The user can decide whether or not print this index.
=== Index of Places (Detailed Descendant Report) ===
The index of Places is the list of all events' dates and description in the Detailed Descendant Report printed in cronological order. The user can decide whether or not print this index.
