What do you mean by "fictional child"? Note that I keep the two sides of my living tree in two separate Gramps tress. My, my wife, my children's names, and those of my parents are in both, but in one they are just stubs; the other has all the Residence data, etc. So, when it's time to merge them for some huge project, I 1) make backups of my two databases, 2) create a new tree (let's call it The One Huge Tree), and 3) import both backup databases into The One Huge Tree. Because some people are in both trees, there will naturally be some duplication in The One Huge Tree. So, I go in and merge the relevant families and people (there are functions in Gramps to merge families, people, events, places, etc). Thus, after about 20 minutes of work, The One Huge Tree has no more duplicates, and it's nice and pretty.

Hi everyone, First of all, thank you very much for all your answers! Second, sorry for not answering earlier, I'm swamped at the moment (work + planning the wedding, it's in 3 weeks!!) and only got to trying your suggestions this morning. I hope you won't mind trying to answer all of your suggestions at once for the sake of mailing-list sanity :) So, to recap : - I tried downloading/installing/running Family Tree, it looked promising, BUT: I have a Mac so tried it in my Parallels VM but it tries to create a directory in a folder where it apparently doesn't have the rights to and just shuts down with an error msg... It's been too long since I actually used a Windows to try and debug that, so I tried online, but I haven't found how to change the online version's appearance to have a tree centered on us AND where both branches are unfolded? (might try again tomorrow) - I tried installing the "Family Tree" add-on for Gramps, as it looked like exactly what I need but alas it fails with my version (4.1.0-1), something about "Style Object" not being iterable (SVG export, PDF msg is different but still about "Style")? Should I copy the full error msg? - I've just finished installing VizGraph but I don't see any new diagrams options? - I haven't tried any of the "filter this or that" options because I've pretty much no idea what you're talking about and virtually no time to read through the whole doc about filters. I'm already late for work as it is with spending 2hrs trying the above different options this morning, no breakfast, and I'm afraid I'm getting grumpy/frustrated :( I clearly am lost, I don't get many of the concepts that you guys are referring to, and I'm rather surprised at how complicated all this is "just to print a tree"... :/ I'm sorry if I sound ungrateful, 'cause I'm really not, but I'm at my wits' end (yes, they're short at the moment). I was wondering, if any of you have a working "Family Tree" add-on for gramps, would you be willing to receive my file and try exporting it, at least to make sure it doesn't come from my file? Or to actually just export the whole thing in SVG with a few criterias that I'd provide (believe me, there're not that many)? I'm ready to spring for a few beers on paypal is how lost and frustrated and about-to-give-up I am... I'm sorry for bothering you again, but sincerely appreciate all help you've already sent my way.

Hi again, Just got my head out of my butt and found the export options on the My Heritage website -_-" and am now waiting on my files... Hopefully, this will be the answer to all, and I'll leave you alone :) I'll keep you posted in any case, and thanks again for your answers about it all!

Hi Marie, > - I've just finished installing GraphViz but I don't see any new diagrams options? If your locale is french, have a look at Rapports menu. You should see a child item named "Digrammes" (was just "Graphiques" in 3.3). If your locale is english, have a look at Reports menu. You should see a child item named "Graphs" If there is no GraphViz support into MacOS bundle, maybe you can try to install 'graphviz-gui'? According to https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Mac_OS_X:Build_from_source:MacPorts#GraphViz "You may wish to install GraphViz to handle some of the graphical reports that Gramps can produce. MacPorts can provide you with either graphical or command-line based versions of either a 'stable' or 'development' release of GraphViz. 'graphviz-gui' is recommended unless you know that you have a need for the development version. Install with: sudo port install graphviz-gui" I hope this could help.
