Re: Name change for a country

My bad!

I was looking at the *Trees\Ancestor Tree* report found in the user's
plugin folder *GenealogyTree* when reporting that it was an addon. But I
was testing the *Graphical Reports\Ancestor Tree* report.

In just testing the *Trees\Ancestor Tree* report, it does print the place
information based upon the event date.

In exploring, the *Trees\Sandclock Tree* may meet Dan's needs.

https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Addon:GenealogyTree

These reports need the prerequisite program to handle the resulting .tex
file.
