Common Biological Ancestor - Release Notes

Version 1.0 – August 2, 2026

Initial public release of Common Biological Ancestor filter rule for Gramps.

Included

This rule follows a parent link only when the child's relationship to that parent is "Birth". Adopted, foster, step and sponsored children are therefore included only if they are also recorded as a birth child in a biological family. A child that appears solely in an adoptive or foster family is given no ancestors beyond itself and will not match through that family.
