Save the picture. Look at the family tree The drawn tree starts from a home person. In the menu on the left, open the „Home Page”, and under „Home Person” select the button that sets it. Choose yourself, or the person you want to see the tree from. In the menu on the left, select „Family Tree”. Switch between the tabs: „Ancestor Tree” (the ancestors), „Descendant Tree” (the descendants) and „Fan Chart”. Frequently asked questions Can I change the language? Gramps Web starts in your browser's language. Under the profile icon, on the „User settings” page, choose another one under „Language”. The Hungarian translation is not complete, so some labels stay in English. What does someone with the „Guest” role see? They can look at the tree, but they do not see data marked „Private”, and they cannot change anything. If they need to see private data too, give them the „Member” role. How do I take the tree to another program? In the menu on the left, open the „Export” page, choose the format, for example GEDCOM, and select the button below it that generates the file. Your browser downloads the finished file. Can someone sign up on their own? No. After your first account the box closed sign-up, so only you add new family members. Where are the photos and the tree? On the box, in Gramps Web's own storage. What goes into the backup is shown on the dashboard, on the app's „Data and backup” tab. Documentation Official documentation ↗
