In this chapter, we'll begin with the basics. We'll show you how to start GRAMPS and how to get help when you need it.

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 '''Family Trees->Manage Family Trees''' to open the family tree manager, or click the {{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 {{man button|Family Tree}} button and choosing from the drop down menu.

We advise everyone to read/go over the manual to learn all the details of Gramps. Genealogy takes time, so learning the tools; is not wasted time.
