'''Research, organize and share your family tree with Gramps.'''
 
Gramps is a free software project and community. We strive to produce a genealogy program that is both intuitive for hobbyists and feature-complete for professional genealogists. It is a community project, created, developed and governed by genealogists.
==Abstract==
This '''Gramps [[Gramps_Glossary#wiki|Wiki]] Manual''' for version {{man version}} 5.1 is the online user's guide, detailing most aspects of the Gramps application, a database for the collection of genealogical information. As of {{CURRENTDAYNAME}}, {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAMEGEN}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}, the [[Download|most current Gramps release]] is the {{TEMPLATE:version}} version. The Both Gramps and the accompanying Wiki Manual [[User_manual_translations|has have been translated into multiple languages]]. You can also download the [[Media:Gramps5.1UserManual.pdf|Complete English 5.1 Offline Manual]] (20 MiB) last updated 27 Aug 2023. For older Wiki Manuals, see the [[User_manual_translations#superseded|archival versions]] made for [[Previous_releases_of_Gramps|previous releases of Gramps]].
For older Wiki Manuals see the [[User_manual_translations#superseded|archival versions]] made for [[Previous_releases_of_Gramps|previous releases of Gramps]]. The last '''''downloadable manual''''' (for offline use) was in 2012 for the [[User_manual_translations#Gramps_3.3.x_Manual|version 3.3.x of Gramps]].
