The {{man label|Check Associations data}} tool checks the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Associations|associations]] of people. It only displays the 'Associations' (person_refs) state. The tool provides a quick way to find People who have an Association (from either direction). As there is no method that allows seeking a specific Association type or pattern of types; eg in this example: “God*”' this tool comes closest.

Select menu {{man menu|Tools -> Utilities -> Check Associations data...}}to show the results in the {{man label|Associations state tool}} window.

* ''<code>Name'' </code> - Persons name* ''<code>Type of link'' </code> - Association type* ''<code>Of'' </code> - Associated Person * ''<code>Relationship Calculator'' </code> -Calculated relationship if any. You can sort on the <code>Type of link</code> column, then manually look up the Person in each line and Edit the Person. ===Example next steps===The specific workflow AFTER opening the 2 people could be: #determine which person would be the Godchild, open their Person Editor to look for Baptism/Christening events where they are “Primary”, #create an events if missing, open other Persons Editor, #drag/share Baptism/Christening event to that person if missing, #set Godparent role on shared event, open all “God*” Associations, #move any Association Sources/Notes to appropriate section of the shared Event, #save Event, #delete the Association, #{{man button|OK}} to commit the 2 Edit Persons.
