Package: gramps
Version: 2.2.8-1
Hi,
It seems that gramps doesn't properly handle unknown gender in alot of
cases. Some of the problems I've noticed:
- Importing a gedcom file with a line "1 SEX MF" gets you a male person.
(This is what lifelines uses by default). Having it empty does
properly get you an unknown gender.
Note that the gedcom 5.5 standard only has "M" or "F" while the 5.5.1
draft actually added an "U" for it. I suggest that if it's different
from "M" or "F" you make it unknown.
- Various reports treat an unknown gender differently:
Examples:
- "Reports->view->summary of the database" counts them as male.
- "Reports->Text->Complete individual report" prints them as female.
- "Reports->Webpage->Narrative web site" properly prints them as
unknown.
