I am doing a research project following the genealogy of the members of a church, many of whom are interrelated in various ways, but some are not. I would like to be able to include everyone that I have marked (or even better, everyone with a certain flag set, but I can work with marked) regardless of how or if they are related. A web project lets me do that, but can I do it as a book or report without scraping the web pages and trying to make a book that way?

The Who setting under Reports > Book lets you specify Marked people. -
Note that the Who setting is only available with the Person Sheet format. The other book formats have the Prune option for filtering marked people, but I think those are less suited for reporting unrelated people.

I was hoping to be able to produce some sort of tree view, ideally collapsing to a link to an earlier page for cases where (for example) a spouse was included as a descendent of an earlier person.
If there's no way to do it directly, is there any way to dig in the internal database and pull out information in a form I would want it? I realize that I could go in and do a manual trim once I generated a bunch of trees, but that would seem rather excessive when I'm already working in a database, and having to redo it all to do the next edition is also not something I'd look forward to.Comment

If you want to add a single tree chart PDF to the book that combines both related and unrelated people you can create an Everybody Chart for the people you have marked. Then either Print as PDF or Save Graphic File as PDF.Comment

It sounds hopeful, but the problem I'd run into there is that either the chart needs a bigger wall, or it'll print so small that it'll barely be big enough to figure out it's a family tree, let alone read it. If I slice it up into smaller groups I'm also going back to the issue of having to redo all of that every time the underlying data changes.Originally posted by A Ginn View PostComment
