Graphical family view showing cousins? Customizable table view?

+8 votes
253 views

There are several views already available in WikiTree (Dynamic Tree, Ancestor List, Descendant List, Family list ...).

I am searching for a graphical view of one of my ancestor (e.g. grandfather), showing all his and his spouses descendants with their relationships (children, spouses). This view would show my cousins as well. Such a view is very common in other genealogy websites (I am moving from MyHeritage to WikiTree). This view helps a lot to navigate and to find missing relationships (it happened that children are not connected to mother when adding them with GedCom as the fathers child).

In addition I am searching for a table view of my watchlist, showing selectable data (e.g. birth place). This printable table view helps to find missing data or estimated data, which need to be checked.
Exporting a gedcom is fine, but how to view a gedcom as a table? Or maybe there is an easier way for this?
Printing (or copy&paste) my watchlist (only some data are displayed) in my browser is only a workaround. WikiTree should provide an easier, customizable table view (I also search data doctor tables, but did not find something).

Who can help me? Are these features already available or planned?
I coul find similar questions, but no solution so far ...

Hi Roland,

I will add a table view and graphical descendants view to our suggestions list to consider for future improvements.

Your first item on the wishlist sounds like the Descendant list, which you will either find in the dropdown menu for a profile like Gleis-1 as Descendants - here is her list: https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Gleis-Descendants-1

Or as Descendant list among the Genealogy Research links below the Familytree view.

It's navigable downwards.

Hello Eva,
thank you very much for your quick answer. The WikiTree community is very active, which helps very much.
Maybe I could not really describe the first item on my wishlist in a proper way. The desired graphical family view is not a straight descendant list and not a straight ancestor list. It is a kind of "combined view" showing the mothers and the fathers siblings with their descendants. The WikiTree descendant view is very close, but many profiles of the combined view are missing.
Sorry, I am not able to describe it better.
I have uploaded a screenshot from my MyHeritage website:

Advantages of the combined view: top down view with profile pictures, zooming, navigation possibilities, drill-down to other profiles families.

The screenshot is privacy protected and can only be seen as a thumbnail.

But, OK, I am also a former MyHeritage customer, so I know what you are talking about. Must say I don't particularly miss the views they present, so I am probably not the right person to answer your question.
