<!-- The revision numbering system for GNOME manuals is as follows: -->

<!-- * the first component of the revision number reflects the release version of the GNOME desktop. -->
|

|
<!-- * the second component of the revision number is a decimal unit that is incremented with each revision of the manual. -->
|
||
|
|
<!-- For example, if the GNOME desktop release is V2.x, the first version of the manual that -->
|
||
|
|
<!-- is written in that desktop time frame is V2.0, the second version of the manual is V2.1, etc. -->
|
||
|
|
<!-- When the desktop release version changes to V3.x, the revision number of the manual changes -->
|

|

<!-- to V3.0, and so on. -->

<title>Introduction</title>
|

|
|
<para> &app; is a genealogical
|
||
|
|
application. &app; is an acronym for the
|
||
|
|
Genealogical Research and Analysis Management Programming System. To put
|
||
|
|
it shortly, it allows you to store, edit, and research genealogical data
|
||
|
|
using your computer. Its functionality is somewhat common to other
|
||
|
|
genealogical programs. However, &app; offers some unique features. </para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<sect2 id="why-gramps">
|
||
|
|
<title>Why &app;?</title>
|
||
|
|
<para> &app; was conceived under the concept
|
||
|
|
that most genealogy programs were designed to provide the researcher the
|
||
|
|
capability to input information related to a particular family tree.
|
||
|
|
Most of these programs have allowed for the arranging and storing of
|
||
|
|
information consistent with the GEDCOM standards. They usually provide
|
||
|
|
means for displaying descendant or ancestral relationships by means of
|
||
|
|
graphical displays, charts, or reports. These may be augmented with
|
||
|
|
pictures or other media to enhance the data. Most provide for inputting
|
||
|
|
data on unconnected individuals/families that may or may not have a
|
||
|
|
relationship to the primary surname being researched. Various other
|
||
|
|
enhancements may also be provided in the genealogical program that
|
||
|
|
allows for different degrees of importing and exporting data from other
|
||
|
|
programs and printing the data contained in the various reports. </para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para> &app;, on the other hand, attempts to
|
||
|
|
provide all of the common capabilities of these programs, but, more
|
||
|
|
importantly, to provide an additional capability of integration not common
|
||
|
|
to these programs. This is the ability to input any bits and pieces of
|
||
|
|
information directly into &app; and
|
||
|
|
rearrange/manipulate any/all data events in the entire data base (in any
|
||
|
|
order or sequence) to assist the user in doing research, analysis and
|
||
|
|
correlation with the potential of filling relationship gaps. In short, it
|
||
|
|
is a tool that provides a way to input all your research into one place and
|
||
|
|
do your analysis and correlation using the speed, power, and accuracy of
|
||
|
|
your computer instead of pencils and unmanageable reams of paper. </para>
