<P
> It is possible for people to use more than one name during their
lifetime. These may be legal name changes, or just informal
names. An example would be a person changing his or her name due
to marriage or adoption. <TT
CLASS="APPLICATION"

allows multiple alternate names to be specified for each person.
</P

<P

names to be added or removed from list. Clicking the
<B
CLASS="GUIBUTTON"
>Add</B

to the list. The <B
CLASS="GUIBUTTON"

<P
> The <SPAN

>Events</SPAN

various events in a person's life to be
recorded. <TT
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>GRAMPS</TT
> provides a list of
common events, but allows you to name an event anything that you
choose.
</P
>
<P
> An event consists of the name of an event (such as "Baptism" or
"Education"), a date or date range on which the event occurred,
the place where the event occurred, and a description of the
event. A note or a source may also be attached to the event.

<P

the currently selected event at the top of the window. Below
this information is a list of the events that have been

selects the event, and displays its information at the top of
the window.
</P

<P
> An event may be added by clicking the <B
CLASS="GUIBUTTON"
>Add</B
>
button. This displays a form that allows you to enter the
information about the particular event. The
<B
CLASS="GUIBUTTON"
>Edit/View</B

alter the information of the currently displayed event. The
<B
CLASS="GUIBUTTON"
>Delete</B

currently displayed event.

<P
> Attributes are similar to events, but are for information items
that do not necessarily have the concept of a place or a
date. An example would be a person's Social Security Number or
national origin. Attributes consist of an attribute name and its
value.
</P

<P
> Like events, attributes may also have a note, source, privacy
marker, and confidence level associated with them.
