== Add all participants and attendees to the baptism ==
Normaly Normally you know from a godfather/mother relationship from a baptism record. So create with the person that is baptized a baptism event. This person has role 'Primary' in the event. Now go to the events tab of the godfather/mother person, and click the index button to select an existing event. Select the baptism event you just made, and set the role of the person to godfather/mother.
The event is now a shared event.
== Alternative: don't create a person ==
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 Gramps supports this.
* You might encounter the same person again in your research. Having him in the person view increases the likelihood of you recognizing it is the same person as the one that appears as godfather/mother.
* The ''Find Duplicates'' tool has more information to work with.
