If Gramps is started without a family tree selected, the initial screen will have little functionality. Most operations will not be available. To load a family tree (also referred to as ''database''), select in the menu {{man menu|Family Trees->Manage Family Trees}} to open the family tree manager, or click the {{icon|ance}}{{man button|Family Tree}} icon in the toolbar. Gramps keeps track of your recently opened Family Trees, and these can be selected by clicking on the arrow next to the {{icon|ance}}{{man button|Family Tree}} button and choosing from the drop down menu.
