__NOTOC__
This page enables you to find all the information you need about how to use GRAMPS. It covers an introduction to the main features of GRAMPS, the User Manual, reviews, tips, tutorials and much more.
== New Users users == 
GRAMPS helps you track your family tree. It allows you to store, edit, and research genealogical data. GRAMPS attempts to provide all of the common capabilities of other genealogical programs, but, more importantly, to provide an additional capability of integration not common to these programs. This is the ability to input any bits and pieces of information directly into GRAMPS and rearrange/manipulate any/all data events in the entire data base (in any order or sequence) to assist the user in doing research, analysis and correlation with the potential of filling relationship gaps.
