{{languages/de| Add a witness|Einen Zeugen hinzufügen}}This article explains how you add a witness to an event.
Dieser Artikel erklärt, wie man einen Zeugen zu einem Ereignis hinzufügt. == Create the witness as person Den Zeugen als Person erstellen ==
We strongly suggest to add the witness related to the persons in your database. So go to the person view, and add them. In many cases, the only information you have of that the person is his name, and a date on which he was certainly alive.
== Create the event Das Ereignis erstellen ==
Create the event that has a witness. Eg the ''marriage event'' is added to a family, the ''will'' event to a person. These have the role 'Primary' in relation to the event, 'Family' on this family event (which can be set at the top of the event reference editor).
Normaly you know from a godfather/mother relationship from a baptize record. So create with the person that is baptized a baptize event. This person has role 'Primary' in the event. Now go to the {{man label|Events}} tab of the godfather/mother person, and click the index button to select an existing event. Select the baptize event you just made, and set the role of the person to godfather/mother.
== Alternative: don't create a person keine Person erstellen ==
Some people are averse to adding people to their family tree they only have a name of. First, allow us to point out why you should nevertheless make a person:
* GRAMPS supports this
Alternatively, you can just record this information in a note attached to the event.
