[Feature] Family tree view, people relationships

[frejaya]

The feature

It would be amazing to be able to assign relationships between people and view them from a family tree perspective. One thing I find in really old family photos is that whoever cleaned up the photos each time often does it from their own perspective understandably (labeling a person as "great grandma"), when these relationships are obviously relative to whoever is viewing the photo. My great grandma will be different than my grandma's great grandma and so whoever labeled the photo knew who it was but it can be lost to time. I'd like to be able to set the relationships between people in the face recognition and then see them in a family tree. E.g.: spouse, child, parent, grandparent, great grandparent.

I've only seen this in one other photo tool and it looks so helpful!

This is a great idea. I was thinking of an expandable grid similar to how the map page works, with a sidebar list of [searchable] family members that when selected, zooms into the individual.

This is out of scope, Immich is not genealogy software.

I think this is a great idea. I would use this. Slightly disagree with @bo0tzz - I don't think this is a request for a full genealogy implementation, just a basic relations for families

[frejaya]

Yes, what I was asking for is relationships between people, not genealogy. But I understand that it might be too far beyond what the Immich team is willing to build and they want to focus on what they do best and Immich's core offering.

I was inspired by this photo organization software called LAMU, they have relationships. It's shown here and I just really wish I could do that in Immich.

100% agree with you too. It doesn't need to be extensive. I'm scanning in a ton of old photos from my great grandparents to archive, and I'd love to be able to show my kid photos of his great grandparents, or show my mom photos of her when she was a kid.

I think a concept of relationships could be neat, similar to setting a date of birth. It's another way of personalization and could be particularly nice for shared photos. A tree view specifically might be too much work, but just having and using that metadata in the UI can make for a more personal and interactive experience.

Hope this will be picked up at some point would make immich better then Google 100 times
