About two computers, one country, and several years ago I used the lifelines 
program (lifelines.sourceforge.net) to get LaTeX to print genealogical trees 
plus associated text. 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.
