In this chapter, we'll begin with the basics. First, we'll describe the basic concepts in Gramps. Then, we'll show you how to start Gramps and how to get help when you need it.
== Choosing a Family Tree ==
[[Image:First-open-40.png|right|thumb|450px|Fig 2{{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1 }}}} Initial window without a family tree selected]]
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.
