Mapping Ancestors

  • Once you have completed the family tree, you can click on open local graph to get a graph view, but the Mind Map is much better for viewing the Tree.

How to get the Mind Map plugin in Obsidian

  • Go to Settings (bottom-left)--> Community Plugins --> Turn off Safe Mode --> Browse Community Plugins --> Type Mind Map --> Install
  • The code to this plugin is open source and can be found here: Obsidian Mind Map by James Lynch


Activating Mind Map

  • Do not forget to toggle the button in Community Plugins --> Installed Plugins to activate Mind Map

Viewing your Ancestry Intelligence with the Mind Map Plugin

  • Once that you have finished writing down your notes/Intelligence and would like to view your data as a Mind Map:
  • Go to --> Open Command Palette --> Type Mind Map --> Preview the current note as a Mind Map


Template

  • You will notice that each person has 2 sets of brackets around them, example: [[Father]], this lets you do a right click on each person and --> create file.

  • You can have a file on each person and you can input much more detailed information such as full name, date of birth, place of Birth, date of death, text/many notes and any amount of text, import screenshots, photos, .txt files etc..

  • Download the Ancestry Template in .md format, then, in Obsidian click create new Vault --> create new file --> and simply drag the Ancestry_template.md file into the newly created file.

  • I also made an Intelligence Template for people searches, based on Surveillance and Law Enforcement files, you can download it here: https://github.com/C3n7ral051nt4g3ncy/Obsidian/blob/master/person_intelligence.md


Good luck with your Ancestry Investigation !!! 🕵️‍♂️
