You could use a custom tag and link everyone that lived during their reign. Not sure that will give you the timeline view you want. It really needs the Relationship view to be expanded to different types of user-defined Associations (aka the FAN Club of Elizabeth Shown Mills - Friends, Associates, Neighbors). RootsMagic added that feature, so did FamilySearch. Showing everyone during a particular reign can be very valuable as you go back and the records get scarce. A little analytics goes a long way! Great idea! ________________________________ From: Tim Dudgeon <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, August 5, 2023 5:12 AM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: [Gramps-users] handling roles or positions I've been using gramps for some time for handling traditional family tree information, and generally am very happy with it. Keep up the good work! I've now come across a need for a system that can track and manage historical information, of which descendancy is an important part, but there are other aspects that are equally important, and I've not found a good way to do this in gramps. Am I missing something or are there better tools to handle this? As an example, let's consider the kings and queens of England. It would be relatively straightforward to create a family tree (or trees!) to describe the descendancy aspect, but what about the role or position of monarch. And the role of heir to the throne (prince of wales in England, Dauphin in France). You would want to be able to create these roles and assign them to the relevant people for the relevant periods and be able to view the timeline of the roles as first class citizens, not just buried somewhere deeply (e.g. an event then the person became king/queen). Other examples where this would be useful is for presidents, popes, prime ministers, and many, many others. Would welcome any thoughts on this.
