Re: [Gramps-users] disconnected individuals part 2

[Benny M. <ben...@gm...>]

Version 3.0.1 should allow the creation of families without parents. So you
could make a family, and add the siblings.
I rewrote the relationship calculator for 3.0.x and allowed for this use
case, but it might be that not all reports/tools have been adapted to allow
for it.
Let us know if making parentless family resolves the disconnectedness of the
person.
