= How do I add a child to a Person or Family? =
=== Adding a Person as a Child of the Active Person ===
You may add a child to a family in which the Active Person is a parent in one of two ways. If the family already exists, then it will appear in the {{man label|Family}} section of the display. Click on the {{man labelbutton|edit{{icon|stock_edit}} Edit}} icon, and the exiting family will be displayed in the Edit Family form.
If the family to which you want to add a child is not displayed, then you should select the {{man button|Add Partner}} button (in older versions of GRAMPS, this button was simply called {{man label|Spouse}}). This will display an Edit Family form in which the Active Person is listed as either the father or the mother. At this point, you may add children and/or a spouse.
== Adding a child from the Family View ==
[[image:editEdit-relfamily.png|right|thumb|250px| Family view]]
If you wish to add a child to an existing family from the Family View, find the Family in the displayed list. You may either select the family a click by clicking on the {{man button|Edit}} button in the toolbar, or double-click clicking on the family in the list. This will display the Edit Family form for this person. At this point, you may add the child.
If you wish to add a child to a new family (a family that does not yet exist in the database), click on the {{man button|Add}} button on the toolbar. This will bring up an Edit Family form. On this form, you may add parents and children.
= How do I add twins/triplets/etc? =
When you look at the list of children in a family, those with the same birthdate are obviously twins. But if you don't know the birthdate, or only know the year, you need some other way to indicate the relationship. You can do this by having them share a single birth event.
Take for example, the twins Thomas and Peter. When you create the Birth event for Thomas, make the {{man label|Description}} say "Birth of Thomas and Peter". Then add a reference to that same event to Peter's event list, either by ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_and_drop drag and drop]'', or by using the {{man button|Share an existing event}} button. Set the {{man label|Role}} for that event for both people to "Primary".
Now when you view the event list for either Thomas or Peter, you will see the {{man label|Description}} reminding you that they are twins. And as you add details such as birth date to the birth event for either of them, those details will automatically display for the other as well.
