# Bookmarking People

`GRAMPS` supports two mechanisms to quickly find people - the home person and bookmarks.

## Home Person

The home person is the default person of the database. Upon loading the database, `GRAMPS` will set the active person to the default person. At any time, clicking the Home button will return the active person to the home person.

The home person can be set by choosing Settings->Set Default Person.

## Bookmarks

Bookmarks work similar to bookmarks in HTML browsers. They allow you to quickly jump to a person, making that person the active person. This allows you to avoid searching for them everytime you want to add/change something in their information.

Figure 18. Using Bookmarks

Choosing Bookmarks->Add Bookmark adds the current active person to the bookmark list. The person will then appear in the bookmark list, allowing you to quickly select the person.

Choosing Bookmarks->Go to Bookmark displays a submenu which allows you to choose a person who was previously bookmarked. Selecting a person from this menu will make that person the active person.

Choosing Bookmarks->Edit Bookmarks displays a dialog box that allows you to reorder or delete bookmarks in the list.
