This section is provides the basic knowledge necessary to start entering your genealogical information into Gramps. It will explain how to enter people into your family tree (also called a database) and how to specify their family relationships. (A more detailed explanation will follow in the next chapter: [[Gramps 6.0 Wiki Manual - Entering and editing data: detailed]].)
First, let us identify the types of information you can enter into your family tree using Gramps. These include:
* Personal information about an individual (names, addresses, birth and death dates, etc.)
* Information about an individual's relationships (marriages, divorces, civil unions, etc.)
* Information about an individual's parents and children
* Sources that document your research
{{man note| Keybindings (Keyboard Shortcuts or Hotkeys) |In addition to interacting with Gramps through menu items and buttons, you can use its extensive set of "keybindings." For more information, see [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Keybindings|Appendix B: Keybindings reference]].}}
Now let us explore how you can enter and edit these various types of genealogical information.
== To add or edit a person ==
The [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Navigation#Add|{{man menu|Add}} menu]] for each [[Gramps_Glossary#category|Category]] [[Gramps_Glossary#view|View]] includes the option to add a [[Gramps_Glossary#person|Person]]. A [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Keybindings#Common_keybindings|keybinding]] for adding a Person is also supported in all categories views.
There are multiple ways to add a new person to your family tree. Many have an implied context which saves a step in grafting the Person into a Tree. (e.g., adding a Person from within the Family context of the Relationships or Charts views automatically inserts the new Person into the Family. You don't have to create the Person as a separate action, then subsequently find and drag the new Person into that Family.) We will cover some of the different workflows as we proceed.
{{-}}
===Add a new person===
[[File:People-tree-view-grouped-people-52.png|450px|thumb|right|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} People Category - Tree View - Grouped People]]
The most obvious way to insert a person in your tree is to add them from the {{icon|peop}}{{man label|People}} View. While you are in the {{icon|peop}}{{man label|People}} View, click the Toolbar {{man button|+}} button.
{{-}}
[[File:Edit-person-window-new-person-52.png|450px|right|thumb|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Edit Person - window - New empty editor]]
The {{man label|Edit Person}} dialog will be shown and you can enter any data you know about this person then select {{man button|Ok}} to save the new person.
{{-}}
===Edit an existing person===
[[File:Edit-person-window-example-existing-person-52.png|450px|right|thumb|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Edit Person - window - Existing person example]]
To edit information about a person already present in the family tree, select the person from the {{man label|People}} View and click the Toolbar {{man button|[[File:Gramps-notes.png|13px]]Edit}} button.
{{man note|1=Alternate ways of adding or editing a person from the {{icon|peop}}People View |2=You can also use the Menu {{man menu|Edit->Add...}} and other items available under {{man menu|Edit}}. Or you can right-click on the person and select {{man label|Add...}} or {{man label|Edit...}} from the context menu that pops up.}}
People can also be added to the family tree in the {{icon|rela}}{{man label|Relationships}} View, {{man label|Edit Family}} dialog, and other places where it makes sense.
{{-}}
== To specify a relationship ==
There are two primary ways to specify relationships between people:
# By family:
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-alpha">
: <li> using the {{icon|rela}}{{man label|Relationships}} View. The {{man label|Relationships}} View is usually used to build multiple relationships around a single person.</li>
: <li> using the {{man label|Edit Family}} dialog from the {{man label|Families List}} View. The {{man label|Families List}} is usually used to build all the {{icon|rela}}Relationships within a single family at a time. </li></ol>
# By Association
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-alpha">
: <li> using the {{man label|[[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Associations|Associations]]}} tab of the {{man label|[[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Edit_Person_dialog|Edit Person]]}} dialog. Adding a Person and specifying the type of Association (godparent, coworker, pallbearer, childhood friend, etc.) identifies an interpersonal relationship. </li>
: <li> using the {{man label|[[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#Link_Editor|Link Editor]]}} feature of the {{man label|[[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#New_Note_editor_dialog|Edit Note]]}} dialog. Cross-referencing a person via a Person link in a Note will associate that linked person to the person where the note is attached.</li>
: <li> Persons who share a reference (sources, notes, colocated in the same places, etc.) have an indirect or proximal relationship.</li></ol>
{{-}}
===Specifying a relationship using the Relationships View===
[[File:Relationships-category-view-default-52.png|thumb|right|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Relationships View ]]
To specify a new relationship to the [[Gramps_Glossary#active_person|Active Person]], switch to the {{icon|rela}}{{man label|Relationships}} View and you will see this individual indicated as the "Active Person". Next to the {{man label|Family}} label is a {{man label|Add}} button (typically represented by a {{man button|+}} sign).
{{-}}
[[File:FamilyEditor-dialog-example-52.png|right|thumb|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Editing a family]]
Clicking the {{man button|+}} button will display the {{man label|Edit Family}} dialog with the Active Person set as either the father or the mother.
{{-}}
[[File:SelectMother-selector-example-50.png|thumb|right|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Select Mother - dialog]]
Now a question ?: Does the person who will form the relationship with the Active Person already exist in the family tree? If yes, click the {{man button|Select}} button to the other person. You will then be able to browse through the list of people in the family tree to select the one you want. If not, click the {{man button|+}} button. This will allow you to add a new person to the family tree and to specify the relationship this person has to the Active Person.
{{man note|1=Filtering|2=By default, Gramps filters the displayed list to show only those people who could theoretically have a relationship with the Active Person. That is, Gramps only shows those people whose birth dates and death dates fit within the lifetime of the Active Person. If you wish, you can add a person to the list by clicking the {{man button|+}} button. To completely override the filter and display all people from the family tree, check the '''Show all''' box.}}
{{man tip|To search a person on dialog selector|Remember that you can get an entry on the list by typing the first letter on your keyboard. (see [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Navigation#Finding_records|Finding records]])}}
To edit an existing relationship from the {{icon|rela}}{{man label|Relationships}} View, click on the {{man button|[[Image:Gramps-notes.png|13px]]Edit}} button next to corresponding Family entry. If there is more than one relationship in the list, you can select the spouse or partner you want by clicking the corresponding {{man button|[[Image:Gramps-notes.png|13px]]Edit}} button next to the relationship.
{{-}}
===Specifying a relationship using the Families List View===
To specify a new relationship in the {{icon|fami}}{{man label|Families List}} View, click on the {{man button|+}} button on the toolbar, and an empty {{man label|Edit Family}} dialog will open. At this point, you can add people to the family.
{{-}}
== To specify parents ==
You can specify the Active Person's parents in the {{icon|rela}}{{man label|Relationships}} View (See {{man label|[[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Select_Family_selector|Select Family]]}} - selector). A little care is required to prevent the creation of {{man label|[[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Error_and_Warning_Reference#Duplicate_Family_warning_dialog|duplicate families]]}}. If you wish to add the Active Person to an already existing family, you should click the {{man button|Select}} button. If the family including the parents does not already exist, you should click the {{man button|+}} button.
{{-}}
[[File:SelectFamily-SelectorDialog-example-50.png|thumb|right|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Select Family - selector dialog example]]
If you click on the {{man button|Select}} button, you are presented with the {{man label|Select Family}} dialog. This will allow you to select the existing family, and then the Active Person will be added as a child to the family.
If you click on the {{man button|+}} button, a new {{man label|Edit Family}} dialog is presented with the Active Person listed a child of the new family. You can add the parents to the family by either adding new people as the parents or selecting existing people as the parents.
{{-}}
You can also specify the parents of a person in the {{icon|fami}}{{man label|Families List}} View. If the family already exists, click on the Toolbar {{man button|[[File:Gramps-notes.png|13px]]Edit}} button and add the person as a child when the {{man label|Edit Family}} dialog is displayed. If the family does not already exist, click the {{man button|+}} button to create a new family, and add the appropriate parents and children.
{{man warn| {{man label|Duplicate Family}} Warning |If you create a new family and select parents that are already in an existing family, Gramps will issue the {{man label|[[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Error_and_Warning_Reference#Duplicate_Family_warning_dialog|Duplicate Family]]}} warning message. If you proceed by saving the new family, you will have a duplicate family.}}
{{-}}
== To specify children ==
Adding children to a relationship is done through a similar procedure. From the {{icon|rela}}{{man label|Relationships}} View or the {{icon|fami}}{{man label|Families List}} View, select the existing family or create a new family. Children can be added by selecting the {{man button|+}} button or {{man button|Select}} button to the right of the child list.
Clicking the {{man button|+}} button will display the {{man label|Edit Person}} dialog, allowing you to enter a new person. Clicking on the {{man button|Select}} button, will allow you to select an existing person from a list. By default, the child is added with the relationship type of '''birth''' to both parents.
{{-}}
[[File:ChildReferenceEditor-dialog-example-50.png|thumb|right|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Child reference editor]]
If you wish to change the parent/child relationship from the default setting of '''Birth''', from the {{man label|Edit Family}} dialog select the child and click on the {{man button|[[File:Gramps-notes.png|13px]]Edit}}. This will display the {{man label|[[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Child_Reference_Editor|Edit Child Reference]]}} dialog.
{{-}}
If you wish to change the order of the children in the family, use the arrows or the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_and_drop ''drag and drop''] function on {{man label|[[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Family_Editor_dialog|Family Editor]]}}s {{man label|Children}} tab.
{{-}}
== Adding photos and other media objects ==
Various types of media objects (including photos, documents, audio files, and video files) can be attached as [[Gramps_Glossary#secondary_object|secondary objects]]. You can also add images that might not be limited to a single person or event. (For example, group photos from a family reunion)
Gramps supports various types of media objects including photos, documents, audio files, and video files. The most common method for adding media is through the {{man label|Gallery}} tab of a primary object's editor (such as {{icon|peop}}People, {{icon|even}}Events, {{icon|fami}}Families, {{icon|plac}}Places, {{icon|cite}}Citations, {{icon|sour34}}Sources, or {{icon|repo}}Repositories).
Before adding any '''''new''''' Media Objects, you should be double-check the {{man label|[[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Family_Tree.27s_Media_path|Base Media Path]]}} in the {{man label|Family Tree}} tab of Preferences. While checking, confirm that you have used {{man menu|Add to Bookmarks}} context menu so that there is a button for that 'Base Media Path' in the [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#File_Chooser|File Chooser]].
Adding optional information can help categorize your media for easier searching later. Dates, titles, and [[Gramps_Glossary#tag|Tags]] can be added a media object.
# Open the object editor for the primary object {{man button|{{icon|stock_edit}} Edit}}
# Select the Gallery tab.
# To add a new Media object, click the {{man button|{{icon|stock_add}} Add}} button
#* Navigate to the file in the File Chooser, decide whether to use the "Convert to a relative path" option
#* click the {{man button|OK}} button.
# To [[Gramps_Glossary#sharing|share]] an existing media object, click the {{man button|{{icon|share}} Share}} button
#* Select an existing Media object from the [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Select_Media_Object_selector|Select Media Object]] dialog
#* double-click the object or click the {{man button|OK}} button.
# Add optional information
#* if the Media object is an image, drag a rectangle in the Preview to refine the thumbnail contents
# expand the {{man label|Shared Information}} section, then add helpful details
#* user-friendly '''Title'''
#* '''Date''' : the Media object was created or that the media object represents
#* select Tags
# click the {{man button|OK}} button.
When adding a few media objects, it may be more efficient to use the {{icon|medi}}{{man label|Media}} category View and add them. Then use the {{man button|{{icon|share}} Share}} button to link to various primary objects as needed.
=== Using the Clipboard ===
[[File:Clipboard-dialog-example-context-menu-52.png|thumb|right|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Clipboard - dialog - Showing Context menu (right click) example]]
If adding more than a few objects, consider using the {{man menu|[[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Tools#Add_images_not_included_in_database|Add Images not included in database]]}} feature in the [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Tools#Media_Manager|'''Media Manager''']] from the {{Man menu|Tool ➡ Utilities}} menu. {{Man menu|View ➡ Configure...}} the {{icon|medi}}{{man label|Media}} category to show Last Changed, sort to the new items and copy them to the [[Gramps_Glossary#clipboard|Clipboard]].
The Clipboard allows quick drag'n'drop to Object Editor galleries. However, when adding a media object to multiple Galleries, sharing "Media ref" can be more efficient than rather than having a separate copy of the Media object reference. After dropping a Media Object in a Gallery, copy the Media object in the Gallery back to the clipboard. This creates a "Media ref" for that object. Then clear the original Media object from the clipboard.
Use consistent naming conventions for your media files and add detailed descriptions to make searching easier. Remember to regularly backup your media files along with your Gramps database.

If you want to add an image to a single person, switch to the {{icon|peop}}{{man label|People}} View (See Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}}}), select a person, and then click the {{man button|{{icon|stock_edit}} Edit}} icon on the toolbar.
{{-}}
[[File:Edit-person-window-example-existing-person-52.png|thumb|right|400px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Edit Person]]
This will bring up the {{man label|Edit Person}} dialog (See Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}}}). Next, select the {{man label|Gallery}} tab, and click the {{man button|+}} button to call up the {{man label|Select a media object}} dialog. Type a filename or browse to find the image file you want and then provide a title for that image. Keep adding images until you are done.

To add images related to a source or a place, first switch to the {{icon|sour34}}{{man label|Source}} View (See Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}}}) or {{icon|plac}}{{man label|Place}} View (See Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}). Select the source or place you want and then either double-click on it or click the {{man button|{{icon|stock_edit}} Edit}} icon on the toolbar. Select the {{man label|Gallery}} tab and click the {{man button|+}} button to add an image.
[[File:PlacesCategory-PlaceListView-example-52.png|thumb|right|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Place view]]
{{-}}
[[File:MediaCategory-MediaListView-example-52.png|thumb|right|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Media view]]
Finally, to add images that you want to include in the family tree, but hare are not limited to any particular person, relationship, source or place, switch to the {{icon|medi}}{{man label|Media}} View (See Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}}}). Then click the {{man button|+}} icon on the toolbar to add an image. If you have already added any images to any individual galleries, you will also find them listed in the {{icon|medi}}{{man label|Media}} View.
{{man note| Alternate way of adding images to galleries |An image can always be added to any gallery by using drag-and-drop. Items can be dragged from the {{icon|medi}}Media View, any gallery, the desktop, the file manager or a web browser and dropped on the target gallery, adding the image to the gallery.}}
In any gallery, you can also use the {{man button|{{icon|stock_edit}} Edit}} to edit image information and the {{man button|-}} button and to remove the image reference from that gallery.
{{man note| Removing an image from a gallery |Removing a media object from a gallery does not remove the image from the family tree. To completely remove the image from the family tree, delete it from {{icon|medi}}{{man label|Media}} View by first selecting it and then clicking the {{man button|{{icon|stock_remove}} Remove}} button on the toolbar.
== To edit events, citations/sources, places, and repositories ==

To add an event, a citation/source, a place, or a repository to the family tree, switch to the appropriate {{icon|even}}{{man label|Events}} View (See Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}-2}}), {{icon|cite}}{{man label|Citations}} View, {{icon|sour34}}{{man label|Sources}} View , {{icon|plac}}{{man label|Places}} View (See Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}-1}}), or {{icon|repo}}{{man label|Repositories}} View (See Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}}}). Then click the {{man button|+}} icon on the toolbar to add the corresponding object. Enter the information into the {{man label|Event Editor}} ( {{man label|Source Editor}}, {{man label|Citation Editor}}, {{man label|Place Editor}} , or {{man label|Repository Editor}} ) dialog.
To edit information about events, sources, places, and repositories already present in the family tree, switch to the appropriate view, select an entry you would like to view/modify, and then click the {{man button|[[File:Gramps-notes.png|13px]]Edit}} icon on the toolbar. Alternatively, you may double-click on the entry to edit it.

== Adding photos and other media objects ==
Various types of media objects (including photos, documents, audio files, and video files) can be attached as [[Gramps_Glossary#secondary_object|secondary objects]]. You can also add images that might not be limited to a single person or event. (For example, group photos from a family reunion)
Gramps supports various types of media objects including photos, documents, audio files, and video files. The most common method for adding media is through the {{man label|Gallery}} tab of a primary object's editor (such as {{icon|peop}}People, {{icon|even}}Events, {{icon|fami}}Families, {{icon|plac}}Places, {{icon|cite}}Citations, {{icon|sour34}}Sources, or {{icon|repo}}Repositories).
Before adding any '''''new''''' Media Objects, you should be double-check the {{man label|[[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Family_Tree.27s_Media_path|Base Media Path]]}} in the {{man label|Family Tree}} tab of Preferences. While checking, confirm that you have used {{man menu|Add to Bookmarks}} context menu so that there is a button for that 'Base Media Path' in the [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#File_Chooser|File Chooser]].
Adding optional information can help categorize your media for easier searching later. Dates, titles, and [[Gramps_Glossary#tag|Tags]] can be added a media object.
# Open the object editor for the primary object {{man button|{{icon|stock_edit}} Edit}}
# Select the Gallery tab.
# To add a new Media object, click the {{man button|{{icon|stock_add}} Add}} button
#* Navigate to the file in the File Chooser, decide whether to use the "Convert to a relative path" option
#* click the {{man button|OK}} button.
# To [[Gramps_Glossary#sharing|share]] an existing media object, click the {{man button|{{icon|share}} Share}} button
#* Select an existing Media object from the [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Select_Media_Object_selector|Select Media Object]] dialog
#* double-click the object or click the {{man button|OK}} button.
# Add optional information
#* if the Media object is an image, drag a rectangle in the Preview to refine the thumbnail contents
# expand the {{man label|Shared Information}} section, then add helpful details
#* user-friendly '''Title'''
#* '''Date''' : the Media object was created or that the media object represents
#* select Tags
# click the {{man button|OK}} button.
When adding a few media objects, it may be more efficient to use the {{icon|medi}}{{man label|Media}} category View and add them. Then use the {{man button|{{icon|share}} Share}} button to link to various primary objects as needed.
=== Using the Clipboard ===
[[File:Clipboard-dialog-example-context-menu-52.png|thumb|right|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Clipboard - dialog - Showing Context menu (right click) example]]
If adding more than a few objects, consider using the {{man menu|[[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Tools#Add_images_not_included_in_database|Add Images not included in database]]}} feature in the [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Tools#Media_Manager|'''Media Manager''']] from the {{Man menu|Tool ➡ Utilities}} menu. {{Man menu|View ➡ Configure...}} the {{icon|medi}}{{man label|Media}} category to show Last Changed, sort to the new items and copy them to the [[Gramps_Glossary#clipboard|Clipboard]].
The Clipboard allows quick drag'n'drop to Object Editor galleries. However, when adding a media object to multiple Galleries, sharing "Media ref" can be more efficient than rather than having a separate copy of the Media object reference. After dropping a Media Object in a Gallery, copy the Media object in the Gallery back to the clipboard. This creates a "Media ref" for that object. Then clear the original Media object from the clipboard.
Use consistent naming conventions for your media files and add detailed descriptions to make searching easier. Remember to regularly backup your media files along with your Gramps database.
