Earliest ancestor aka Origins
Matriarchs and patriarchs
Parents other partners (Stepparents)
Other spouses of spouse
Children's spouses

Developer

This mod was developed by A.S. DuPree ( Happy for any help on improving it)

Requirements

A working TNG installation.
A backup of all affected files (see the list in the summary in the upper right corner of the page)
An installed current version of the Mod Manager.
Both English and English-UTF8 folders be on your site
Above v7 requires site uses at least PHP 7xxx and OpenStreetMap above v8 for the heatmap link to work if you use Open Street Map instead of Google.

Introduction

Show All Family (v8+) does the following:

Family Lines: Adds a tab for viewing maternal and paternal lines family lines up to 7 generations back from the individual.
Origins Chart: Adds a pie chart with the origins for a person calculated from the places entered on ancestors to a new origins row on the getperson page.
Ancestors: adds matriarchs and patriarchs and earliest ancestors to a new row or rows on the getperson page.
Family to Show: adds spouses to children and parent's spouses on the getperson page.
Spelling Variants: collects all spelling variants, displays them as + sign next to name (top of page), shows them on the Family Lines page and adds a "with variants" search to the surname dropdown on the search page.

Show All Family (v7+) does the following:

Origins Chart: Adds a pie chart with the origins for a person calculated from the places entered on ancestors to a new origins row on the getperson page.
Ancestors: adds matriarchs and patriarchs and earliest ancestors to a new row or rows on the getperson page.
Family to Show: adds spouses to children and parent's spouses on the getperson page.<nowiki>
Spelling Variants: collects all spelling variants, displays them as + sign next to name (top of page) and shows them on the Family Lines page.

You can disable any of these functions in the edit options sections of the mod in the mod manager.

A note on the Origins Chart

The Origins Chart is slow, so Show All Family delays inserting the row for "Origins." To reduce the delay, you can use these options:

Origins Chart 3. Remove details on the donut origin chart - this takes out the secondary places and the ancestor links on the primary places
Origins Chart 2. Yes will show the donut origins chart - you can remove the 'Yes' here to just get rid of the graphic altogether.

The origins graphic makes the best estimate of a person's origins. It works best if you have been consistent in entering places with the highest level place (i.e Turkey or Australia) last after a comma. Here is how it works:

1) It takes the birth place, christening place, death place or burial place (in that order) of end-of-line ancestors (no parents or one parent) as the best indicators of a person's early origins. They are then weighted by the generation and added together to make a chart of early origins. The chart is similar to what DNA testing companies make but it is based on your real data.

2) When no place has been entered, the mod does a predictive search adding in place of marriage or place of birth of children as a proxy to predict the place of origin. Of course, the origins will improve as the data does.

3. There are three options for the chart 1) color scheme (3 different color schemes are provided); 2) An option to show or not show the "donut" chart; 3) an option to use a US list, if you are like me and do not add USA to your US ancestors.

An example of the donut using color scheme 1 is shown to the lower right.

The origins donut

1. Earliest Ancestors aka Origins

This row shows the earliest ancestors of the individual. It calculates this by getting all ancestors as far back as it can and returning the last generation it finds. Hence, it may show one person or many depending on how many people you have found in that generation. [Note, the massive calculations that are necessary to find this person or people have been trimmed down as much as I can. However, if the mod detects that it may take significant time to find these ancestors, it halts and returns a button instead that will resume the calculation but with a warning about potential delay. Also, the calculations take place on an external page to avoid slowing down the loading of the individual's page]/

How come my person and the person's spouse BOTH have the same earliest ancestor?
Well, you may notice this happening and it is confusing, but before you think there is something wrong with the mod, try the little link icon to the right of the ancestor's name. I have already found two or three couples in my data that have the same earliest ancestor. Think about it, the data reflects the earliest people you have found...and the likelihood grows as you go back of any two individuals being related. This is further compounded by the limits to the research that means we have all spent more time and energy on fewer lines.

Earliest ancestors are not a normal thing to display in genealogical software to my knowledge, so I have included a help icon on the field name to try to explain. It may take some getting used to.

2. Patriarchs and Matriarchs

This row shows the male-to-male line back to the "patriarch" or first father on the father's line. And the female-to-female line back to the 'matriarch' or first mother on the mother's line. These people are useful to know at a glance for DNA research.

Sometimes the matriarchs and patriarchs are the same as the earliest ancestors. I have not attempted to hide this duplication because it is useful to know when they are the same. The screen below shows the earliest ancestor I have for Queen Isabelle of Angouleme and then the ends of her paternal and maternal lines, as far as I know.

Note the blue i - that links to a help menu
Note the icon at the end of the names - that takes you to the relationship page showing the line between the ancestor and the person.

And here is what it looks like if expanded.

Or you can combine earliest ancestors with patriarchs and matriarchs in a single row. Here is what that looks like when expanded.

3-5 Spouses

These add other spouses to the parents and spouse of the individual and add all spouses to the children. The utility here is the ability to see the whole family at a glance. Not only does this help in telling stories (since one doesn't have to search, for say, the son in law) but also provides clues that are useful when trying to maximize searches through records.

There are options to change the symbols used for spouses and to put them together all on one line (default).
Show spouses for children:

Other spouses of spouses

Parents Other Partners (Stepparents)

6. Alternative Spellings

Alternative spellings looks at all the spellings of the surname on the particular line of the individual and returns a small list of spellings from the database. It may find little differences (Smith and Smythe) and it may find large changes, reflecting the adoption of new surnames on the line. Both are useful information in tracking down histories. The only difference you will see on the page is a little plus sign that only appears if alternative spellings are found. Click on it to open them up.

There are options to change the word you use to identify an unknown surname (the default is "unknown") and to identify an unmarried couple (the default is "not married")

Show alternative spellings on a line:

7. Family Lines Tab

The Family Lines Tab adds in paternal and maternal lines of the individual's ancestors for up to seven generations. It shows the first person in the line, this person's relationship to the individual, the ancestor for whom this is a direct line, the numbers of descendants and generations for that ancestor. In short it gives a "best" summary of all the lines of an individual for up to seven generations. It generates a heatmap to show where these ancestors came from. By clicking on an individual line, you get a pedigree suitable for printing of the Individual to the first ancestor in the line and more information on the line. The pedigree works for up to 99 generations.

Example of printable pedigree:

Advisory

All of these functions are only as good as your data. And, no, I am not saying anyone has "bad data." But we all learn as we go along and change our habits of entering our folk in the database, etc. If any are returning bad data -- exclude them in the options. Please feel free to let me know... but I barely have a handle on my own data and before I can track down your problem I have to figure out how you use tng. Some steps to check out from what I know:

Tng allows for multiple parents -- really useful when you want to keep two paths - but not so useful in finding ancestors. If you do this a lot (enter multiple parents of a person), these functions will not return good data.
Try to be consistent in what you do about unknown surnames, etc.
If you notice a stress or strain on your webpage (i.e. it loads slowly), try excluding the Ancestors, Alternative Surnames and Matriarchs and Patriarchs, in that order. See if things improve.

Mod options include:

You can choose to show or not show any of the spouses, matriarchs and patriarchs or alternative spellings
You can choose to use or not use symbols in the display, or change the symbol
You can adjust the spellings to ignore a word you may use for an unknown surname

Other Mod Integration

The mod works with the Sosa, Family Edit Links Mod, Family Preview Mod and Family Indicators Mod if you have these installed to add information to people it displays.

Languages

Thanks to Cees, Ron, Michel, Ken, Jan-Thore and Katryne Mod has Czech, Dutch, French, German, Norwegian and Spanish text. Also, thanks to the same group of people for testing and pushing it to a much improved state.

Note - the mod calculates relationships (such as 3x great grandfather) using the English custom. This can provide unwanted results in other languages. To avoid this it conforms to the options you set for a language in the admin menu (languages>>Edit Existing Language). The option to "Turn off relationship messages" is set to yes if you do not want to display the relationship (also for other tng pages). This will not turn off relationships on the Family Lines page, since they are a key part of the content. The only option, at the moment, is to not use the Family Lines tab (turn it off in the options)
If you want to use it with a different language, add the correct text (between quotes) in the code below and add to your cust_text file in the appropriate language folder.

Click on [Expand] to display the text strings.

$text['otherpartners'] = "Other Partners: ";
$text['childpartners'] = "Partners: ";
$text['earlyinfo'] = "This is the earliest ancestor or ancestors for this person's mother and father as recorded in the research provided in the database on this web site.";
