Gramps Web

Visualize your Y-DNA Data :dna:

Gramps Web’s DNA features are designed to store genealogically relevant DNA data in a future-proof, traceable, and secure way, while also offering clear visualizations. This year, these tools have become significantly more powerful and user-friendly – starting with the DNA view in 25.1, followed by the improved match view in 25.3. Rounding out this series of improvements is the addition of the Y-DNA view in this version.

To use this new feature, you need to obtain your Y-DNA SNP data from a Y-DNA test provider and store them in the Gramps database. Gramps Web then uses the yclade library to determine your most likely position on YFull human Y-chromosome tree and displays your paternal lineage in the last 200 thousand years. All of that is done with a local copy of the Y-tree, i.e. without sending your data to a third party.

See the Gramps Web Y-DNA docs for details.

Edit a Place’s Hierarchy and Alternate Names :round_pushpin:

One of the few areas where Gramps Web still lacked full editing capabilities compared to Gramps desktop was place details. In this release, two contributions nearly close that gap.

• @cajturner added support for editing, adding, or removing alternate place names, including dates (https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps-web/pull/713)
• @Ziesie1 added support for editing place hierarchy references (https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps-web/pull/757)

New Contributors :muscle:

• @Ziesie1 made their first contribution in https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps-web/pull/757
