Export a GEDCOM file from a genealogy software like Gramps. Store the file in the root folder.
Add pointers of selected individuals to the list in modules/linear_descendants.py to highlight lineal descendants.
Run py main.py to parse the GEDCOM file and to create a graph.
Run py map.py to parse the GEDCOM file and to create a location map. The script tries to find latitude and longitude information for each place.
