Gramps geneaology program export to HTML?
Hi, I am busy completing my family tree and have many folk I would like to send a chart of information to of the current entries. I am using Brothers Keeper on a Windows box and will hopefully be moving to Gramps. Many of my family members use Windows and IE so I am wondering if a user could tell me if it can export into HTML? how else can Gramps export the data ie RTF? Tnx Hylton -- ======================================================================== Currently using unpatched SuSE 9.2 Professional with KDE and Mozilla 1.7.2 Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org ========================================================================

better exporting to gedcom, a common format understood by most geneology applications to share data. *.ged Gramps reads/imports gedcom files. btw, have a look at geneweb, http://cristal.inria.fr/~ddr/GeneWeb/en/index.html Geneweb displays data as html, reads/writes gedcom files and is much faster displaying than gramps. Geneweb may be configured to present its data as a web page with password control. You could serve the data for your family members to access online. My wife has done extensive work building her family tree beginning much before windoz was perceived. She began using 3x5 index cards and taping together large sheets of wrapping paper. I convinced her to try moving her database to computer records with a new program on cp/m and she has never looked back. When dos was born, the Mormon Church gave seminars explaining a geneology program called PAF, Personal Ancestory Files, and she switched. She is using PAF still today. She has 46819 individuals. I tried importing into gramps, but gramps cannot handle that volume of individuals. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2

Gramps reads/imports gedcom files. I realize that the 'default' format for geneaology is GEDCOM files however what I was asking is if Gramps can export in HTML so that an HTML file could be integrated into a web page. You have answered this

I wouldn't dream of doing theis the index card way. There is initially just too must disjointed information and no links between people. PC wise is great as even if I add 1000 individuals the PC still takes up the same space.

Have you told her there is a graphical tool :)

WOW 50k worth of entries, and here's me worrying about 28 records :) With that number of individuals/anscestors I think your wife must have had aquite common surname like Smith or something :) Not to worry though as the Conacher surname has spanned the UK, Canada, South Africa and Australia so perhaps I am also looking at 45k's worth of records.

Character based programs can present to, in and with a graphical interface. PAF has evolved to present into the windoz interface. It also will run via wine in linux. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2

Genweb says that they can handle well over 100K records. http://cristal.inria.fr/~ddr/GeneWeb/en/index.html#Exe Should be sufficent. Good luck! -- Kai Ponte www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request
