== Add the godfather/mother ==
We strongly suggest to add the godfather and godmother to the people in your database. To do this go to the person view, and add them. In many cases, the only information you have for a godparent is thier their name, and a date on which they were certainly alive.

Some people are averse to adding people to their family tree they only have a name of. First, allow us to point out why you should nevertheless make a person:
* GRAMPS supports this
* You might encounter the same person again in your research. Having him in the person view increases the likelyhood likelihood of you recognizing it is the same person as the one that appears as godfather.
* The ''Find Duplicates'' tool has more information to work with
