For each individual, I have gathered lots of informations about their actiI knowvities, places of residence, people with which he or she interacted, participated in such and such ceremonies. However, I feel that Reports of people are the weak point of GRAMPS. Never felt to need other functions than those available in that version. I have been using GRAMPS 3.3 for about 7 years to now. You need to practise first and explore the software.

The ability to create web pages of your family tree is absolutely amazing…īiggest Pro: Feature rich and free (but why not donate a bit to help out?)īiggest Con: Getting started info is over-complicated. I found it best for me if I ‘added’ People first, Father Mother Children, and then created their ‘family ‘ using the family tab and selecting from the People data already entered.Ī tip for Media: collect your photos, pdf’s etc you want to use into a unique folder on your computer. In order to get to grips with it I started from scratch with just a few of my own relatives to test it out.

We moved his data via GEDCOM files to Gramps, partly as a backup in case his OS failed or the the software became incompatible with future versions of Windows. He was using an old version of Family Tree Maker. I have been helping a friend research his family tree one day a week for about 5 years now. I have been using Gramps (properly) for a couple of years now. If it’s a particular report you feel the need for Attributes, why not ask the developers? So, unless Alex has ‘hidden’ Attributes that won’t display or wants these to appear in some other report that does not have those options I would deem that an unfair rant to make. I disagree that data placed in Attributes is missing from reports for a Detailed Ancestral Report you need to tick the box in the reports dialogue on the tab marked ‘Include’ (where you can also include Notes, Photos, Alternative names, Events, Addresses, Sources and Sources Notes). Wasn’t going to write a review (and I know this is not a Forum) but, having read Alex’s rant about report content, I felt obliged to reply.

Overall, it is a great program.īiggest Pro: Excellent charts and reports use with Apple, Linux, and Windows always 100% free drag-and-drop mediaīiggest Con: Not connected to online database sites, such as FamilySearch and Find a Grave

I’ve tried most of the free and commercial programs on the market, and I still depend on Gramps. When I use software that does that, I just import it into my master tree in Gramps. If it had that functionality, I’d give it 5-stars. The big drawback for me is that is not yet accessing online databases, such as FamilySearch and Find a Grave, or seeking research hints. It handles adoptions and step-parents very well.

The range of charts and reports is unrivaled, and the plugins are fantastic. It is very easy to use and is quite straight-forward. The program is free and available for Apple, Linux, and Windows systems. This has been my standby for decades, since I left Family Tree Maker.
