Track your ancestors with GRAMPS
GRAMPS is the Genealogical Research and Analysis Management Programming System -- free extensible personal genealogical software. Its numerous reviews cover the basics of what it does. In this article, I'll reveal some lesser-known features and tips from the developers' hideout.
To briefly summarize its abilities, GRAMPS can import a GEDCOM file (the de-facto standard for exchanging genealogical data), provide a convenient and easy way to add and modify the information, and export the data in a variety of formats, including GEDCOM. GRAMPS can also generate a wealth of text reports, as well as graphical charts and diagrams based on your data, and it provides many useful tools that examine your information for consistency, check for errors, and explore your database to give you new leads in continuing your family history research.
The installation process is explained in detail in the project's Download section, so I won't repeat it here. Once installed, GRAMPS is intuitive enough for you to just run it and learn as you go. You can invoke a User Manual from the Help menu to guide you through the details of data entry, reports, and tools. Instead of competing with the manual, I will focus on important tips and highlight newer features.
