The Family Tree report generates a graphical tree of a family with its ancestors and/or descendants. Similar to the standard builtin Ancestor Tree and Descendant Tree reports but with the following differences:
- Both ancestors and descendants are combined in a single report
- On the ancestors side, father and mother are combined in a box
- On the descendants side, spouses are included
- The names are printed in a bigger font than the dates and places (birth date, death date, etc)
- This report makes better use of the available space for printing ancestors and the whole report is centered on the page, the boxes are also aligned in a more centered than top-aligned way
Numerous other user selectable options allowing coloring, and how various family information is display.

Content Options
- Marriage and divorce information is included and you have the option to print occupation and residence.
- This report has options to use the call name instead of the first name, or to underline the call name (only works with PDF output)
- There are 3 predefined ways of formatting the birth/death/marriage/divorce data: year only, full date, or full date and place
Tree Options
- Title text: - if left blank the report will print "Family Tree for [Person one] and [Person two]".
- Footer text: - if left blank the report will print nothing
Issues
- Help button wrong page
- 7018 : Family Tree report no longer underlines call name in PDF output
- To activate callname handling, you need to apply the patch in 8003 uncomment in the
FamilyTree.py
the line
# menu.add_option(category_name, "callname", callname)
Caveats
- The report uses <u>...</u> to underline the call name if the call name is a part of the first name. This only works with CairoDoc based output (direct printing, PDF export) and HTML output.
- Printing on more than one page doesn't work, you usually want to use the "scale to fit on a single page" option.
