Gramps provides a good management for our genealogical events. Some people or genealogical societies share some names/events lists or indexes often generated from registries or others sources.

This tutorial tries to describe a part of commons features offered by Gramps for seizure and events management. Gramps does not limit the number or the database size. We are free to create as we want.

Just some quick samples of events management. Imagine one registry, as example: civil registry of birth on 1st arrondissement of Paris for year 1860.

We can create one new database per year or one base per sector, it depends of our plan and needs.
