Gramps Enhanced Narrated WebSite report - Release Notes

Version 1.0 – October 26, 2026

Initial public release of Gramps Narrated Web Site report for Gramps.

Included

Gramps' Narrated Web Site report can generate a complete linked family website with people, families, events, places, media and sources. I find it useful when I want a clear overview of a family tree without having Gramps open.

A generated site can also be placed on a web server and shared with selected people. If living people are included, the site can contain personal information and should therefore be protected appropriately.

The standard report can be viewed directly from local files. My version adds search and processing features that require the generated site to be served through a web server, including a simple local Python server when testing it on a computer.

Added

• Relationship path — biological people can show their relationship path back to the selected Home person.
• Non-biological child marking — foster and other non-biological relationships are made visible in the generated family pages.
• Extended search — search by name, relationship, occupation or selected roles.
• Calendar surname adjustment — a wife's calendar surname follows her husband's surname, except after a later remarriage.
• Pedigree chart PDF — the ancestor chart includes a direct PDF download option.
• Menu changes — the generated site includes shortcuts that fit the way I use the report.
