I hope it still works, although I have to download it again, as I have some additions to make to my family tree reports. You have to put the data into a particular data format which, as far as I remember, is a fairly standard form for for genealogical data and then use lifelines to extract the particular information you want and output it, including generated family trees, as a Latex document.
