The previous section offered you a detailed overview of how to enter and edit the main objects you see in Gramps. This section continues with other objects you encounter in Gramps.

====Type====
 * {{man label|Type:}} (<code>Birth Name</code>default) The Name type dropdown list allows you to select the type of name being entered. You may also directly type key in your a [[Gramps_Glossary#custom|Custom type Type]] into this field.* {{man button|Record is public/private}} toggle the icon in the top right corner to mark this name record as private.

{{-}}
==== Given Name(s) Section ====
 The '''Given Name(s)''' Section contains all parts of a personal name you can store with Gramps.:
*{{man label|Given:}} The person's given names should all be entered here.
*{{man label|Call Name:}} The person's proper legal name that was used most commonly by the person should be entered here. For example, someone named John Raymond Smith who uses the name Raymond should have ''Raymond'' entered here. If this person uses ''Ray'' commonly, this should be entered as a nickname since Ray is not the proper legal name (see following). In Germany and some other places, it was custom customary to underline the callname call name among the different given names (see also [[Names_in_Gramps#Call_Name|here]]).*{{man label|Title:}} The person's personal title, such as Doctor (or Dr.) can be entered here.*{{man label|Suffix:}} The person's personal name suffix, such as Junior (Jr.) or III, should be entered here.
*{{man label|Nick Name:}} The person's nickname should be entered here. Nicknames include shortenings of proper legal names such as Greg for Gregory (cf. Call Name above).
{{-}}
 
====Family Names Section====
 
The '''Family Names''' Section contains the person's family name elements. Gramps allows for multiple family names as well as multiple kinds of family names.
 
* Toolbar - '''+''' / '''Edit''' / '''Remove''' / '''Move up in list''' / '''Move down in list'''
The following columns are shown:
*{{man label|Prefix}} A prefix for the family name that is not used in sorting (such as "de" or "van").*{{man label|Surname}} for the main portion of one's family name.*{{man label|Connector}} often used in matronymic or patronymic naming schemes, such as ''dotter''.*{{man label|Origin}} indicating the type of family name this is and its derivation.*{{man label|Primary}} Radiobox indicating if the family name is the primary one.

====General====
 Options allowing you to adjust specific grouping, sorting, and displaying properties of this name, as well as to provide the date corresponding to the name. :* The {{man label|Group as:}} field provides an alternative grouping node for a name in the person view, overriding the default grouping based on the family name. This may be necessary with similar family names that need to be grouped together -- for example Russian names Ivanov and Ivanova are considered the same, but the difference in gender is reflected in different spelling. See [[Grouping Surnames]].
** {{checkbox|0}} {{man label|Override}} Check this checkbox to enable typing into this field. (checkbox unchecked by default)
:People are displayed according to the name format given in the Preferences (the default).:Here you can make sure this person is displayed according to a custom name format . ''(extra More name formats can be set selected in the {{man menu|Edit ->Preferences...}} {{man label|[[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Display|Display]]}} tab or customized using the [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Display_Name_Editor|Display_Name_Editor]].). '' *The {{man label|Sort as}} and {{man label|Display as}} determine the manner in which how the name appears in the People View and in the reports. The sort as allows you to override the name pattern set in the Gramps preferences in the sorting of the name. For example, you suddenly have a branch of Swedish names with given and patronymic, but the rest of your database sorts names on Family name, Given. You can indicate here to sort this name always as Patronymic, Given.:Here you can make sure this person is sorted according to a custom name format . ''(extra More name formats can be set selected in the {{man menu|Edit ->Preferences...}} {{man label|[[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Display|Display]]}} tab or customized using the [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Display_Name_Editor|Display_Name_Editor]].)''.:The display {{man label|Display as }} allows you to say how the name is displayedlisted. You might , for example , want to sort a name in based on a specific mannerperson's given or surname, but still have the display of the show an honorific title before that name. ''(More name as set formats can be selected in your preferencesthe {{man menu|Edit ->Preferences...}} {{man label|[[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Display|Display]]}} tab or customized using the [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Display_Name_Editor|Display_Name_Editor]].)'':The Person Tree view groups people under the primary surname. You can override this by setting here a group value. You will be asked if you want to group this person only, or all people with this specific primary surname. 
*The {{man label|Date}} can provide information on the validity of this name -- use date spans as necessary. The edit date icon opens the [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_Editing_Data:_Detailed_-_part_1#Editing_dates|Date Editor]]. Eg. for a Married Name, enter the date that the name is first used or the marriage date.

== Merging records ==

 Sometime Sometimes several records in your family tree turn out to be describing the same object: same person, same place, or same citation/source. It could happen either when the data is entered twice by mistake, or when new information reveals that the two entries refer to the same person. It can also happen after importing a GEDCOM obtained from a relative, whose database overlaps with your existing data.
Whenever you detect duplicate records, merging them is a useful way of correcting the situation.
{{man tip|To make a merge, {{man menu|exactly two records have to be selected}} in the appropriate view (People View, Sources View, or Places View). This is accomplished by selecting one entry and then selecting another person while holding down the {{man key press|Ctrl}} key.<br>You will see the {{man label|Cannot merge people}} warning dialog if you attempt to merge anything other than two(2) records.}}

When exactly two people are selected, choose {{man menu|Edit ->Merge...}} to invoke the {{man label|Merge People}} dialog.
The dialog allows you to make a decision decide on whether or not the selected records should be merged. If you decide that the records should not be merged, despite similar names, you may click {{man button|Cancel}} button to close the dialog without making any changes.  Expanding the ''"{{man button|&#x25B6;}}{{man label|Detailed Selection"'' }} and the ''"{{man button|&#x25B6;}}{{man label|Context Information"'' }} fields on the bottom left shows more information about the people to be merged.
If you decide to proceed with merging, select the appropriate {{man button|Select}} radio button to specify the record to be used as the source of primary data, then click {{man button|OK}}. The data from the other record will be kept as alternate data.

You can either choose one of the two families to be the source of the primary data for the new family, or by expanding the ''"{{man button|&#x25B6;}}{{man label|Detailed Selection"'' }} field you can individually choose which father is the source of the primary data, which mother is the source of the primary data, and which family (selected by Gramps ID) is the source of the other primary data.
If you decide to proceed with merging, choose the appropriate {{man button|Select}} radio button(s) to specify the source(s) of the primary data to be used for the merged family record, and then click {{man button|OK}} . The children from both marriages are merged into the new family. The two fathers are merged together and the events from the secondary father are attached to the primary father. The names from the secondary father become alternate names for the primary father. The same occurs to with the two mothers. The events related to the secondary family (e.g. marriage and any divorce) are transferred to the primary family. The secondary family, and the person record for the secondary father and mother are deleted from the database.
