{{man tip|The new Family Tree is empty!|Keep in mind that, at this stage, the new Family Tree has a name, is loaded, but is - empty -. To populate it with data, data needs to be [[Gramps_3.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_brief|entered]] and/or [[Gramps_3.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Manage_Family_Trees#Importing_data|imported]].}}
== Opening an existing Family Tree ==
To open an existing Family Tree, either go to '''Family Trees -> Manage Family Trees...''', or click the {{man button|Family Trees}} icon on the Toolbar. This opens the {{man label|Family Trees}} window. It lists all the Family Trees known to GRAMPS. A Family Tree that is already open would be identified by an {{man label|icon}} displayed in the {{man label|Status}} column. Select the Family Tree you want to open and click on the {{man button|Load Family Tree}} button.

Should your a Family Tree become damaged or corrupted in some way, GRAMPS' the {{man label|Family Tree Manager }} window will display a red Error error {{man label|icon }} in the {{man label|Status}} column. To attempt to repair the damage, select the affected Family Tree and then click the {{man button|Repair}} button. GRAMPS will attempt to rebuild the Family Tree from the backup files that are automatically created by GRAMPS each time the GRAMPS main window is closed.
To tell GRAMPS to attempt to repair the damage, select the Tree and then click the {{man button|Repair}} button.
This will attempt to rebuild your tree from the backup files that are automatically created on exit.
== Saving changes to your Family Tree ==
