<b>Example of a Family Tree</b>: To see an example of what a family looks like in GRAMPS, check <b>Help > Open example database</b>. You will then be viewing the elaborate Smith family database, which includes 42 individuals and 15 families, with fairly complete data about many of the individuals.

<b>Inverted Filtering</b>: Filters can easily be reversed by using the 'invert' option. For instance, by inverting the 'People with children' filter you can select all people without children.

<b>Locating People</b>: By default, each surname in the People View is listed only once. By clicking on the arrow to the left of a name, the list will expand to show all individuals with that last name.

<b>The Family View</b>: The Family View is used to display a typical family unit---the parents, spouses and children of an individual.

<b>Shifting a Family View</b>: Changing the Active Person in the Family View is easy. A spouse can be made the Active Person by clicking the button just to the right of the Active Person. A father can be made the Active Person by clicking on the arrow to the right of their name. A child can be made the Active Person by selecting them from the Children list and then clicking the arrow button to the right of the Children.

<b>Who Was Born When</b>: The 'Compare individual events' tool allows you to compare data of all (or some of) the individuals in your database. This is useful, say, if you wish to list the birth dates of everyone in your database.

GRAMPS comes with a rich set of tools. These allows you to undertake operations such as checking database for errors and consistency, as well as research and analysis tools such as event comparison, finding duplicate people, interactive descendant browser, and others. All tools can be accessed through the <b>Tools</b> menu.

<b>Calculating Relationships</b>: This tool, under <b>Tools > Utilities > Relationship calculator</b> allows you to check if someone else in the family is related (by blood, not marriage) to you. Precise relationships as well as the common ancestors are reported.

<b>SoundEx can help with family research</b>: SoundEx solves a long standing problem in genealogy---how to handle spelling variations. The SoundEx utility takes a surname and generates a simplified form that is equivalent for similar sounding names. Knowing the SoundEx Code for a surname is very helpful for researching Census Data files (microfiche) at a library or other research facility. To get the SoundEx codes for surnames in your database, go to <b>Tools > Utilities > Generate SoundEx codes</b>.

<b>Setting Your Preferences</b>: Not happy with some default behavior of GRAMPS? <b>Edit > Preferences</b> lets you to modify a number of settings, allowing you to tailor GRAMPS to your needs.

Unsure what a button does? Simply hold the mouse over a button and a tooltip will appear.

The 'merge' function allows you to combine separately listed people into one. This is very useful for combining two databases with overlapping people, or combining erroneously entered differing names for one individual.

To easily merge two people, select them both (a second person can be selected by holding the Control key while clicking) and clicking on <b>Edit > Fast Merge</b>.

GRAMPS maintains a list of previous Active People. You can move forward and backward through the list using <b>Go > Forward</b> and <b>Go > Back</b>.
