)Arguments
- x
A gedcom object.
- xref
The xref of an Individual record.
- inc_indi
Whether to also include the individual themselves.
- inc_sibs
Whether to also include all siblings of ancestors (siblings of this individual will only be included if the individual is included).
- inc_fam
Whether to also include all Family records where this individual is a child (and all ancestors' Family records).
- inc_supp
Whether to also include all supporting records (Note, Source, Repository, Multimedia).
- pedigrees
