Precedente Indice Successivo


La sezione espande la panoramica di come inserire e modificare i dati in Gramps.

Gramps ti offre una serie di Viste. Ciascuna di queste visualizzazioni ti dà l'opportunità di inserire e modificare le informazioni. In effetti, puoi spesso ottenere le stesse informazioni da diverse visualizzazioni.

In Gramps, le informazioni vengono inserite e modificate attraverso quelle che chiamiamo finestre di dialogo. Poiché usiamo questo termine frequentemente, dovremmo definire cosa intendiamo con questo:

Una finestra di dialogo è una finestra a comparsa che fornisce uno o più moduli per l'immissione e la modifica di dati che si adattano a una determinata categoria. Esempi in Gramp includono la finestra di dialogo Modifica Persona e la finestra di dialogo Modifica Famiglia, e le molte altre. Una finestra di dialogo solitamente comprende una serie di "schede"" che raggruppano informazioni in sottocategorie. Per esempio, le finestre di dialogo Modifica persona una scheda per le sottocategorie Eventi, Indirizzi, e Note, e molte altre.

Gramps-notes.png
Pulsanti Aggiungi, Rimuovi e Modifica

Nella maggior parte dei casi, Gramp usa un + che corrisponde ad un Aggiungi, un - che corrisponde ad un Rimuovi, e un'icona di una penna su un foglio di carta per indicare Modifica. Continueremo a fare riferimento a quest'ultimo come il pulsante Modifica+, mentre si utilizza + e - per indicare i due pulsanti precedenti.

Modificare informazioni che riguardano le persone

Le informazioni sulle persone sono inserite e modificate attraverso la finestra di dialogo Finestra di dialogo modifica persona. Questa finestra di dialogo può essere richiamata da diverse viste nei seguenti modi:

Facendo doppio click sul nome della persona a cui si riferiscono i dati che vorresti modificare
Selezionando il nome con un singolo clic e selezionando poi il pulsante Modifica sulla barra degli strumenti.
Selezionando il nome e premendo Invio.
Selezionando Modifica... dal menù Modifica di Gramps
Selezionando Modifica dal menù contestuale che appare eseguendo un clic con il tasto destro sul nome.
  • Dalla Categoria Relazioni: per modificare i dati della Persona Attiva, clicca sul pulsante Modifica vicino al nome della Persona Attiva.
  • Dalla Categoria Grafici: Con un doppio clic nella casella con il nome della persona a cui si riferiscono i dati che vorresti modificare.

Ogniuno di questi metodi ti aprirà la finestra di dialogo Modifica Persona.

Finestra di dialogo modifica persona

Fig. 9.1.1 Edit Person dialog

La parte superiore della finestra ha due parti: le informazioni di base sull'etichetta Nome preferito della persona e una sezione Generale con il pulsante riservatezza (per impostare il record come privato), il selettore di sesso, un ID che puoi dare a questo record e un marker che puoi assegnare alla persona che indica lo stato del record (completo, ToDo/DaFare, incerto, ....) che darà a questo record un colore specifico nella vista persona.

I resoconti Anteprima sono disponibili utilizzando il menu di scelta rapida (clic con il pulsante destro) da un'area vuota nella parte superiore della finestra, ad esempio: vicino al campo "Nome preferito".

Sotto questa sezione superiore, ci sono diverse "schede" che contengono diverse categorie di informazioni disponibili. Fare clic su qualsiasi scheda per visualizzare e modificare il suo contenuto.

Cliccando sul pulsante OK in basso verranno applicate tutte le modifiche apportate in tutte le schede e verrà chiusa la finestra di dialogo. Cliccando sul pulsante Annulla si chiuderà la finestra senza applicare alcuna modifica. Se sono stati modificati dati in una qualsiasi scheda, verrà visualizzata una finestra di avviso che richiede di scegliere tra le seguenti opzioni: chiudere la finestra di dialogo senza salvare le modifiche, annullare la richiesta di annullamento iniziale o salvare le modifiche.

Gramps-notes.png
Nota

Cliccando OK si salveranno immediatamente le modifiche al database. Non è necessario eseguire un'operazione di salvataggio, poiché tutte le modifiche sono immediate.

Sezione del nome preferito

Il nome preferito o predefinito è il nome che verrà utilizzato in Gramps per il 'nome' della persona. Puoi impostare nelle Preferenze di Gramp come viene visualizzato un nome e nella maggior parte dei casi vedrai solo il nome preferito. Solo i resoconti dettagliati (generatore di siti Web testuali e narrativi) mostrano anche i nomi alternativi. Si noti tuttavia che la ricerca su un nome cercherà in tutti i nomi associati a una persona, non solo il nome preferito.

La sezione del nome preferito contiene le tipiche informazioni sul nome che modificherete durante la creazione di una persona. Qui non vengono visualizzate tutte le informazioni sui nomi possibili, solo i campi più utilizzati. Per visualizzare l'intera gamma di dati che è possibile memorizzare su un nome, fare clic sul pulsante modifica dopo l'etichetta del nome preferito. Questo mostrerà l'Editor dei nomi.

I campi del nome del nome preferito nell'Editor Persona sono:

  • Tipo di nome (conosciuto anche come, nome di nascita (predefinito), nome da coniugato/a, sconosciuto). Puoi anche digitare sopra questo campo di inserimento per inserire i tuoi tipi personalizzati, ad esempio soprannome, nome breve, ecc. Si consiglia di utilizzare per il nome preferito un nome con valore legale in quanto è quello che si trova più spesso sui documenti, e memorizzare altri tipi di nome nella scheda Nome dell'Editor Persona.
  • Nome, il nome o i nomi prori delle persona
  • Suffisso, un suffisso facoltativo al nome, come Jr. o III
  • Cognome, Parte del nome della persona che indica la famiglia di appartenenza. Usando il pulsante Aggiungi, la casella di immissione Cognomi multipli diventerà visibile, consentendo di inserire cognomi composti (ad esempio per patronimici, o nomi matrilineari-patrilineari composti).
  • Prefisso del cognome, un prefisso opzionale per il nome di famiglia che non viene utilizzato nell'ordinamento, come ad esempio De or Dalle
  • Origine, il tipo di origine del nome. Questa è una meta informazione sul cognome che può essere importante nella ricerca genealogica
  • Titolo, che è un titolo onorifico usato come appellativo alla persona come Dott. o Rev.
  • Soprannome, è un nome descrittivo assegnato al posto o in aggiunta al nome ufficiale indicato. Se un soprannome è un costrutto completo, usa un tipo di nome specifico conosciuto anche come invece del campo Soprannome.
  • Pseudonimo, ufficialmente questa è la parte del nome dato che è il nome normalmente utilizzato. Ad esempio, una persona può avere 3 nomi dati come in Giovanni Battista Giulio, dove in realtà si usa solo Battista. In Germania e in altri luoghi, era consuetudine sottolineare lo pseudonimo tra i diversi nomi, vedi anche qui. Alcune persone useranno questo campo anche per il soprannome o per le modifiche al nome proprio (come Tony per Antonio), ma non è questo l'uso previsto. Uno pseudonimo è un nome legale proprio. Per i soprannomi o le varianti del nome breve, è necessario creare un nome alternativo con un tipo diverso.

Nell'Editor Nome è disponibile un campo aggiuntivo: Soprannome della famiglia. Questo è un nome non ufficiale dato a una famiglia per distinguerli da persone con lo stesso cognome. Spesso indicato come ad es. Nome della fattoria.

I campi Origine e Tipo forniscono una funzionalità di "completamento automatico": mentre digiti in questi campi, sotto al campo contenente le voci del database che corrispondono al tuo input parziale viene visualizzato un menu. Questo ti fornisce una scorciatoia permettendoti di selezionare una voce che esiste già nel database piuttosto che doverla digitare del tutto. È possibile selezionare la voce usando il mouse o usando i tasti freccia e Invio.

Sezione generale

  • Il menu Sesso offre la scelta del sesso della persona: maschio, femmina e sconosciuto.
  • Il campo ID visualizza il numero di Gramps ID che identifica l'utente nel database. Questo valore ti aiuta a distinguere tra persone che hanno lo stesso nome. Puoi inserire qualsiasi valore univoco che desideri. Se non fornisci un valore, Gramps seleziona automaticamente un valore per te.
  • Il pulsante Riservatezza ti consente di contrassegnare se il record della persona è considerato privato o meno.
  • Le Etichette: questa area mostra le etichette personalizzate assegnate che specificano alcune informazioni di base sullo stato della ricerca.
    • Il pulsante Modifica la lista delle etichette consente di visualizzare la finestra di dialogo Selezione Etichette che consente di rimuovere o assegnare tag personalizzati esistenti.

Edit Person tab pages

Tango-Dialog-information.png
Tip

If a tab label is in boldface type, this means it contains data. If not, it has no data.


The tabs reflect the following categories of personal data:

Events

Fig. 9.1.2 Events tab
The Events tab lets you view and edit any events relevant to the person. The bottom part of the window lists all such events stored in the database and displays the following columns: Type, Description, Date, Place, Main Participants, Private(lock icon), Role, ID, Age. The top part shows the details of the currently selected event in the list (if any). The buttons + , Edit , and - allow you to add, modify, and remove an event record from the database. Note that the Edit and - buttons become available only when an event is selected from the list.
When you use the Share an existing event button the Select Event selector dialog is shown allowing you to select an already existing event and edit it in the Event Reference Editor dialog.
When you add a new event or edit an existing event, the Event Reference Editor dialog is invoked. The Event Reference Editor dialog is described in the Event Reference section


Select Event selector

File:Xxxx.png
Fig. 9.1.3 Select Event - selector

The Select Event selector dialog allows you to link to an already existing event and once selected it will be opened in the Event Reference Editor

You may use the Find button to filter the list based on one of the options from the drop down list:

  • Type contains (default)


Names

Fig. 9.1.4 Names tab
The Names tab lets you view and edit any alternate names the person may have. The bottom part of the window lists all alternate names for the person stored in the database. The top part shows the details of the currently selected name in the list (if any). The buttons + , Edit , and - allow the addition, modification, and removal of an alternate name from the database. Note that the Edit and - buttons become available only when an alternate name is selected from the list.
When you add a new name or edit an existing name, the Name Editor dialog is invoked. This Names dialog is described in the Name Editor section


Source Citations

Fig. 9.1.5 Source Citations tab
The Source Citations tab allows you to view and document the source citations for the information you collect.
These might be general sources that do not describe a specific event, but which nevertheless yield information about the person. For example, if Aunt Martha's memoirs mention her great-grandson Paul, the researcher may assume that this Paul actually existed and cite Aunt Martha's memoirs as the source that justifies this assumption.
Tango-Dialog-information.png
Tip

Sources which document specific events are best recorded as sources of the event (under the Events tab) instead of as a source of the person. The person's Citations tab is best used for any sources not specifically connected to any other data.


The central part displays the list of all source references stored in the database in relation to the person. The buttons + , Edit , and - allow you to correspondingly add, modify, and remove a source reference to this person. Note that the Edit , and - buttons become available only when a source reference is selected from the list.
On edit you can change the data in the citation (unique to this person), as well as the shared source object, see Editing Citations.


Attributes

Fig. 9.1.6 Attributes tab
The Attributes tab lets you view and assign attributes to the person. You have complete freedom to define and use attributes. For example, attributes might be assigned to describe the person's physical characteristics or personality traits.
Note that each attribute listed in the Attribute dialog consists of two parts: the Attribute itself and a Value associated with that Attribute. This so-called "Parameter-Value" pairing can help you organize and systematize your research. For example, if you define "Hair color" as an Attribute for a person, "Hair Color" will become a selectable Attribute for all other people. The Value of Hair Color for person A might be red, and brown for person B. In similar fashion, you might define an Attribute like "Generosity" and use the Value of "Enormous" to describe a particularly generous person.
The bottom part of the dialog window displays the list of all Attributes stored in the database. The top part shows the details of the currently selected attribute in the list (if any). The buttons + , Edit , and - let you add, modify, and remove an attribute record from the database. Note that the Edit and - buttons become available only when an attribute is selected from the list.
If you edit an attribute the Attribute Editor opens.
Gramps-notes.png
GEDCOM

Several predefined attributes refer to values present in the GEDCOM standard.


Addresses

Fig. 9.1.7 Addresses tab
The Addresses tab lets you view and record the various mailing addresses of the person. You are advised to use a residence event to store information of residency of a person. The address tab is offered mainly for compatibility with the GEDCOM standard where the rationale of addresses is mailing only.
The bottom part of the window lists all addresses stored in the database. The top part shows the details of the currently selected address in the list (if any). The buttons + , Edit , and - allow you to correspondingly add, modify, and remove an address record from the database. Note that the Edit and - buttons become available only when an address is selected from the list.
If you edit an address the Address Editor opens.
Some reports allow you to restrict data on living people. In particular, that option will omit their addresses.


Notes

Fig. 9.1.8 Notes tab
The Notes tab provides a place to record various items about the person that do not fit neatly into other categories, as well as text excerpts you want to add to the family tree. You can share notes between different records in Gramps. The iconbar in this tabpage offers the usual buttons: Create and add a new note, Add an existing note, Edit the selected note, Remove the existing note, and reorder buttons to change the order of the notes
If you edit a note, you obtain the Note Editor.

Associations

Fig. 9.1.14 Associations tab
The Associations tab lets you view and edit information about the associations between people in the database. The associations may include Godparents, family friends, or any other types of associations you may wish to record. If the relation is 'Godparent', then this would indicate that the Godparent of the person is the parson whose name is shown. As the GEDCOM standard states "A word or phrase that states object 1's relation is object 2". In the example shown, Lewis Garner's Godfather is John Adkins. Use Events instead for relations connected to specific time frames or occasions. Events can be shared between people, each indicating their role in the event.

Editing dates

This section describes how to enter and modify dates. Since dates are so important in genealogical research, Gramps takes special care to preserve and use any date information available.

Information can be entered into a date field by directly typing it or by invoking the Date selection dialog by clicking the Invoke date editor button next to any Date: entry field.

Date selection dialog

Fig. 9.1.31 Date selection dialog

While the above parsing rules provide a guide for you to type in most common dates, you can also use Date selection dialog. The dialog is particularly useful for building a complex date or for simply insuring that your information is entered in a way Gramps will understand.


  • Calendar: Choose alternate calendar type.
    • Gregorian(default)
    • Julian
    • Hebrew
    • French Republican
    • Persian
    • Islamic
    • Swedish
  • Dual dated This field is select-able with the matching New Year begins: field if the alternate Calendar: supports dual dating. (checkbox unchecked by default)
    • New Year begins: (Empty text field by default)
  • Type: Set the exact date type.
    • Regular(default)
    • Estimated
    • Calculated
  • Quality: Set the date quality.
    • Regular(default)
    • Before
    • After
    • About
    • Range
    • Span
    • Text only
  • Date Select the Day, Month, and the Year.
  • Second date: If your date Quality: is Range or Span, this option will be available to set a date.
  • Text comment: text entry field allows storing an arbitrary text string along with the date.
Gramps-notes.png
Important comment about a date

If you have an important comment to make about a date, you are better off doing so in a Note that corresponds to the event than in the Text comment field of the Date selection dialog. We recommend this for the following reason: If you enter a date by typing it directly into the date field (that is, not via the Date selector dialog), your entry will be copied and stored as the text comment string when Gramps parses the entered text. Thus, any comment that may have been there prior to the parsing will be overwritten.


Date validity indicators

Fig. 9.1.32 Date selection dialog

Gramps uses a date validator.

While partial dates do not uniquely define the day, they allow at least for some type of comparisons between the dates.

The date field will show a red symbol(eg: stop sign or cross etc..) to mean the entered date is not recognized as a valid date (e.g. "Christmas week of 61", or "the summer when I had surgery"). In such a case the date will be stored as a text string and therefore cannot be compared to other dates. As you can see, it is best to avoid such date entries. It would be better, for example, to enter a date of "December 1961" and then to add the note "Christmas week of '61."

On the Person View, not recognized dates will be displayed in bold by default. Style for not recognized dates can be modified by changing the Markup for invalid date format: option in the Dates tab of Preferences.


Date Quality

Dates in Gramps are classified according to the following quality:

  • Regular: A "regular" date is one which includes a specific day, date, or month. It can be complete (e.g., June 6, 1990) or partial (e.g., July 1977).
  • Before: A "before" date is one that can only be identified as occurring before a certain day, month, or year.
  • After: An "after" date is one that occurs after a certain day, month, or year.
  • Range: A "range" describes a time period during which the event occurred.
For example, "between January 1932 and March 1932."
  • Span: A "span" describes a time period during which a condition existed.
For example, "from May 12, 2000 to February 2, 2002."

Date formats and parsing rules

Gramps recognizes dates entered in a variety of formats. The default numeric format is that which is conventional for the environment is which Gramps is operating; that is, DD.MM.YYYY for most European countries, MM/DD/YYYY for the U.S., and so on.

Besides exact dates, Gramps recognizes many dates that are not regular: before, after, about, ranges and spans. It also understands the quality: estimated or calculated. Finally, it supports partial dates and many alternative calendars. Below is the list of date entry rules to allow precise date parsing.

Date parsing rules

The list only applies to the English version of Gramps. If you are using localized version of Gramps, your version may or may not provide a localized date parser. A list of the 28(As of 20150825) localized parsers can be found on the Handler List some existing Date Handlers are available for French, German, Russian, Finnish, Dutch, Spanish, Slovak and Swedish languages.
If the localized parser is available for your version, chances are that other rules are in effect. If there is no manual in your language yet, you may try following your instinct and go with the common ways of denoting dates in your language. If all else fails, use the Date selection dialog described below.

Regular single dates can be entered just as you would write them.

Examples: May 24, 1961 or January 1, 2004.

Dates that are not regular should start with the Quality: set to Estimated or Calculated , if applicable.

Example: est. 1961, or calc 2005. (Note that a quality does not need to be specified for regular dates.)

After the Type: should appear the Quality:. If the Quality: is set to Before, After, or About, you can specify the Quality: by writing "before", "after" or "about". If the Quality: is a range, write "between DATE and DATE", and if the Quality: is a span, write "from DATE to DATE". patterns, where DATE is a single date.

Examples: est from 2001 to 2003, before June 1975, est about 2000, calc between May 1900 and January 1, 1990.

Partial dates are entered simply by omitting unknown information.

Examples: May 1961 and 2004.

Calendars

Alternate calendars are calendars other than the Gregorian calendar. Currently, Gramps supports Hebrew, French Republican, Julian, Islamic, Persian, and Swedish alternate calendars. To specify the calendar other than the default Gregorian, append the name of the calendar to the date string, e.g. "January 9, 1905 (julian)" or use the drop down menu.

Swedish calendar

The Swedish king, Karl XII, decided that Sweden should start using the Gregorian calendar. However, it was planned to take place gradually by skipping 11 leap days starting 1700-02-29 and end by 1744. So 1700-02-28 was followed by 1700-03-01. This took place during the Great Nordic War and the leap days were kept 1704 and 1708. In January 1711 the same king decided that Sweden should return to the Julian Calendar by 1712-03-01. In order to be in phase, an extra day was inserted on 1712-02-30. And that was the end of the Swedish Calendar. Sweden converted to Gregorian in 1753-03-01, by skipping dates between 1752-02-18 and 1753-02-28. In Gramps you can only enter valid dates for the Swedish Calendar from 1700-03-01 to 1712-02-30. All other dates are flagged as not valid and has to be corrected.

Dual-dated dates

Dual-dated dates (also called "double dating", "slash dates", and sometimes "Old Style/New Style" dates) appear like "Jan 23, 1735/6". Often mistaken as a year uncertainty, this actually has a specific historic meaning. The dual dated date represents a time when an area was in a transition between moving to January 1 as the beginning of the new year. Thus Jan 23, 1735/6 is an indication to make it clear what date is being referred to. In this example, "Jan 23, 1736" might have occurred after "Jun 23, 1736".

England and the American colonies didn't officially accept the "Jan 1" as the new year date until 1752. Before 1752, the English government still officially observed March 25 as the first of the year, whereas most of the English population observed January 1 as the first of the year. Many people therefore wrote dates falling between January 1 and March 25 in the dual-dated format.

Sometimes, a dual date may appear as a fraction, as in this grave stone (170 and 3/4, which means 1703 and 1704):

Fig 9.1.33 Gravestone


Marking a date as dual dated can be done by simply putting a slash between the years. For example:

  • 1721/2
  • 1719/20
  • 1799/800

These slash-years can appear anywhere in a date that a regular year can appear.

Dual-dated dates are currently represented in the Julian calendar so their month and day will be the same as that in the textual representation.

Alternate new year day

With dual-dated dates (and other dates) you may know that the new year was celebrated on a day other than January 1. To indicate this in Gramps, put the month/day code in parentheses, after the calendar (if one). For example:

  • Jan 20, 1865 (Mar25)
  • Jan 20, 1750 (Julian,Mar1)
  • Feb 23, 1710/1 (Mar25)

To indicate the beginning of a year that is different from that of January 1, you use the following codes:

  • Jan1
  • Mar1
  • Mar25
  • Sep1

You can put that as the only item in parenthesis, or right after a calendar name (comma, and no space).

Note that if new year's day is not Jan 1, then January will come after December that year. Dates with new year day codes will be sorted appropriately.
