> The <SPAN

><SPAN
CLASS="application"
>GRAMPS</SPAN
></SPAN
> is a genealogical
application. <SPAN
CLASS="application"
><SPAN
CLASS="application"
>GRAMPS</SPAN
></SPAN
> 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, <SPAN
CLASS="application"
><SPAN
CLASS="application"
>GRAMPS</SPAN
></SPAN
> offers
some unique features. </P

><P
> <SPAN
CLASS="application"
><SPAN
CLASS="application"
>GRAMPS</SPAN
></SPAN
> 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. </P
><P
> <SPAN
CLASS="application"
><SPAN
CLASS="application"
>GRAMPS</SPAN
></SPAN
>, 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 <SPAN
CLASS="application"
><SPAN
CLASS="application"
>GRAMPS</SPAN
></SPAN
> 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, 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. </P

certain overhead to assist working with large data structures. However,
ZODB provides a significant speed-up when the database size is large (over

represent birth relations, while dashed lines represent non-birth
relations (such as adoption, step-parentship, guardianship, etc.).
When the mouse moves over the white box, it expands to display the
corresponding person's dates of birth and death. When the mouse is
placed over the family line, the line changes color to indicate an
active link: double-clicking on the line makes the corresponding
ancestor the Active person. The display in that case is re-adjusted

person. </P

When the top button is clicked, the Father of the Active person

top for viewing or editing by clicking on the appropriate tab heading.

<SPAN
