CLASS="APPLICATION"

>GRAMPS</TT
|
|
> is an acronym for the
|
|
Genealogical Research and Analysis Management Programming System.
|
|
It 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 a
|
|
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 of
|
|
the data contained in the various reports. GRAMPS, on the other
|
|
hand, attempts to provide all of the common capabilities of these
|
|
programs, but, more importantly, to provide a capability not
|
|
common to these programs. This is the ability to input any bits
|
|
and pieces of information directly into GRAMPS 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.
