Hello.

I am running GRAMPS 5.1.5 on Linux Mint Mate 21.3 .

In needing to rebuild my family tree, starting with inputting each 
person into a new database, I have so far, input up to my sets of 
great-great-grandparents.

But, in each of the text reports; Ahnentafel Report, Detailed Ancestral 
Report, and the graphical report Ancestor Tree, and, the Pedigree Chart, 
only my parents are shown, with the next two generations of ancestors, 
not being shown.

I have the Number Of Generations for the reports, set at 20.

How do I get all of the ancestors that I have input, shown in these reports?

The parents of each person, I have input through the Person -> Add 
family -Add father, then Add mother, process.

The people that I have so added, as parents of each person, show in the 
listing for People, and, in the listing for Families.

Okay. I have figured it out (I think).

Apart from selecting or adding the parents of a person, the person has 
to be also, manually, added as a child of the parents, by clicking on 
the parents, and, editing the Family relationship pf the parents, to Add 
Child.

Why is a child, when parents are set for the child, not automatically, 
also set as a child of the parents, in the Family relationship?
