Direct Ancestors Request #8

Closed tmathie closed 8 years ago

tmathie commented 8 years ago

Good Day, This might be a pipe dream, but is it possible to only download Direct Ancestors? Thank you, Torrey Mathie

Do you mean without downloading uncles and aunts? That is one fix I have been procrastinating for a while. You have my word I will get around it at some point.

Thank you, I had a DB of about a million individuals, i exported only direct ancestors and it knocked it down to 45,000. So i believe it would speed up the download process alot.

I have cleaned up the code and now you can run the script so to only download direct ancestors (which now is the default behavior). I have also added a "-m" option which will download spouses of children and grandchildren (by default it will not). I have performed some minimal testing and it seems to work, but if you encounter any issues let me know.
