{{stub}}'''Guide to record a French census with GRAMPSGramps'''
==Introduction==
This guide explains how to record information about a home through the census. With GRAMPS Gramps 1.0.x we had to re-enter the information each individual. With the "drag and drop" GRAMPS Gramps 2.x and the tool {{man label|Clipboard}} this repetition is reduced.
The French census are with [[sources|Registrations]], a very important source of information to validate family ties or fill gaps in the civil status. The first official (as today) census date ''18011790-1793'' followed by ''1816-1817''. Finally, all ''5'' years, ''1831'' to 1946 with few exceptions.
The census gives the location of each household by street/city/neighborhood. Thus, we can reconstruct a family at one time and living in the same house.
* First, we should add the census as a source so that it can be mentioned when we add all the records of individuals. To create this {{man label|source}}, click on the icon of {{man label|sources}} in the list of icons on the left side of the window. Now right-click button to add. Fill in the dialog with the details of the source. [[Media:Add_source_2.png|Figure 1]].
* For example, ''Census 1850-1870, Strasbourg-Robertsau, No. 202.'' Then go on the label / tab {{man label|Repositories}}, select or add a deposit and enter the phone call number field with the symbol/reference your source. Once all the written information, click {{man button|OK}} of the dialog box. [[Media:Add_repository_2.png|Figure 2]].

* Now add the image of the page census gramps. You do not need to do this but this may help maintain the original documents. To add click the image on the label / tab '''Gallery''' the source editor. Now click on the icon to add the icon bar on the right. Locate the image and click {{man button|OK'}} to add it to gramps.
'''NOTE: gramps does not take a copy of the image it stores only a link to the image file in your memory. If you move or delete the image, gramps can not find it.'''
* To use this tool, you must click on the icon {{man label|Clipboard}} in the icon bar above the main window gramps. You must now arrange your windows so you can see both dialog boxes. Once you have windows, you arrange to slide the reference of the list in the working area of {{man label|Clipboard}}, keeping the left mouse button pressed. [[Media:scratchpad_1.png|Figure 4]] shows the drag in action.
Once you have copied the reference source in the work area click {{man button|OK}}, keep {{man label|Clipboard}} open. You can put it next to the window area and move it next to your screen. Note that close {{man label|Clipboard}} crept retain data. But closing session GRAMPSGramps, or use the {{man button|Clean}} remove any information stored in the {{man label|Clipboard}}.
===Enter the head of the family===
Each individual information can have its own source. The reference is added so we know where it comes from. This is useful if you have a number of sources for the person you want to remind you that contributed to a detail information.
Now we must add the remaining information to John MartinFrancis Xavier Wind. Change to address the label and click the button to add a positive new address (or identification or residency). See [[Media:add_address_1.png|Figure 6]] dialogue achieved address. Do not forget to add the reference source to the label. Once the address is complete click {{man button|OK}} and then drag the recording addresses on {{man label|Clipboard}}. The registration address will be reused when we complete the rest of the family.

It meets about Francis Xavier Wind. Then we write the rest of the family. Now that the record of Francis Xavier Wind is complete, click {{man button|OK}} the dialog of the editing window.
===Enter the rest of the family.===

Censuses contain much information. Gramps provides the flexibility required to capture information and to record exactly the correct sources for each item. It may be a long exercise in writing any information. Perhaps one day gramps can automate some of the other processes...
