Thank you for a very thorough introduction. Pace was perfect for me, and the information was exactly what I need to get started. I appreciate that you showed how to do something in more than one way.
I'm trying to use this software for typing genealogy of various religious sects and their founders. Can I use it for that purpose? Can I skip gender filling for that though? What if it's just a sect title without a person, under which category should I put it? Thanks in advance. Now thinking of more questions. - When you mention adding a new family after getting married, does it matter much if the wife did not change the last name? I mean in history it's known sometimes that some children have taken their mother's name instead of father's. Does that mess up the tree? I never used one so just curious when I start building my own family tree. - Also, assuming for a couple being married is good, but what if a woman was divorced several times and had kids from different men, Is there a section for such cases? - is that data now saved only locally or is there a way to save it in the cloud (I'm using Mac)? And will I have to encrypt it manually?
Could anyone make a Report showing the date and time of the divorce? If so, would you mind enlightening me, please? The event "divorce" is already in my database, I just don't know how to add it to the report...
Great Tim. I'm new to the software. Question for you: Am I able to find a person that is already on Gramps database? Not added by me. For instance I want to search if "X" person already exist on Gramps, can I do that? if yes, how? Thanks
Thank you, I enjoyed the video and it helped a lot. Only problem is that County Tyrone was NEVER in the Republic of Ireland. Before 1922 it was part of Ireland, ruled by Britain. After 1922 it was and still is part of Northern Ireland.
As someone considering this as a possible replacement for Legacy Family Tree, I thought it looked great until I saw a few potential problem points: 1) Locations are much more work than necessary. A simple text box with autocomplete would eliminate a lot of those steps. 2) I don't see a field for event notes. There is a notes icon on the screen, however, so maybe that functionality does exist. 3) Only four fields for sources? Yikes, that doesn't seem like nearly enough. Or maybe I'm just spoiled by Legacy's SourceWriter--sure you have to fill in about 12 fields, but you get a really nice footnote. Also, the Republic of Ireland didn't exist in the 1850's, and shouldn't Philadelphia be in a county? Or is that supposed to be Philadelphia County? On the other hand, some of it looks better than legacy--less copying and pasting sources at least. This will require more research.
Very helpful, gets to the point without a lot of useless fluff

No, it is only a personal database.
Can i get like a pedigree for the whole family tree?
Can i change the pedigree from top to bottom?
Is there a tree view?
Thank you!
What version was this done in? Version 4.2.5 has major differences.
very good thanks
