==A==
;<span id="active person">Active Person</span>: (''(core concept)'') - The person designated (or 'selected') as the momentary center of focus in the open Gramps database. The perspective of this person defines the context for actions and for displaying all the surrounding information. Changing this focus is done by [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Navigation#Setting_the_Active_Person|navigating the Active Person]] selection to another person.
:The Active Person's relationship to the [[#home_person|Home Person]] defines the scope of the perspective.
:<abbr title="nota bene (singular), notate bene (plural) - Latin phrase meaning 'note well'">N.B.</abbr>: There is ''always'' an Active Person selection, even when the [[#primary_object|primary object]] (<abbr title="also known as — abbreviation used to indicate another name that a person/thing has/uses">''aka''</abbr> record) selected in the current view is not a 'Person' [[#object|object]].
:Optional parts bundled with the core project are called by the more generic name: builtin plugins. After installation and being registered, both the "builtin" and "addon" plugins may be disabled or re-enabled with the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Plugin_Manager#Registered_Plugins|Plugin Manager]].
;<span id="address">address</span>: (''([[#secondary_object|sec. obj.]])'') - The Gramps concept of an Address is a particular location with an associated time frame. Think of it as a mailing address. It is intended to represent where a person lived and when the person lived there. The Address consists:
:* Date
:* Street Address
;<span id="administrative division">administrative division</span>: A unit of a layered system subdividing a geopolitical (geographic or political) region. Such divisions are recorded as [[#place|Place]] Types in Gramps. Meanwhile the structure of a Place Tree is built by layering via the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#Enclosed_By|'Enclosed by' tab in the Place Editor.]] The subdivisions are sometimes categorized as an entity, locality, area, or region. The terms of subnational entity, constituent unit, or country subdivision tend to imply divisions that are more related to political representation than administrative. <br />See wikipedia's [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Administrative_division Administrative division] for a conceptional definition or [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_administrative_divisions_by_country List of administrative divisions by country] for specific countries.
;<span id="aide">Aide</span>: (''([[#event_role|event role]])'') - A term to refer to the role of an assistant.
;<span id="anglicisation"><span id="anglicization">anglicisation</span></span>:
: Process of making something English. If an immigrant (or their descendant) adopts a naturalized variation of their birth name, that [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Preferred_name_section|preferred alias]] can be added with an ''Also Known As'' [[Names_in_Gramps#Name_Types|name type]] in the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Names|Names]] tab. All aliases can be categorized by type and surname variants may be [[Grouping_Surnames|grouped]] with the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_3#Name_Editor|Name Editor]].
;<span id="association">Association</span>: (''([[#secondary_object|sec. obj.]])'') - The [[#role|roles]] in [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data%3A_detailed_-_part_1#Associations|Associations]] are to explicitly define the how one person relates to another.
:Association roles are used when the relationship falls outside the implicit roles of a family relationship or the explicit roles in shared events. These custom roles convey relationships that might not readily apparent... such as a [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Pen_pal penpal] or the [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Eponym eponymous person] honored by a namesake. Association roles may also be used as placeholder when the actual genetic connection has not yet been discovered.
:Association roles are created and edited with the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data%3A_detailed_-_part_1#Person_Reference_Editor|Person Reference Editor]], which includes no pre-defined roles. This feature starts with a blank list of [[#custom|custom types]]) and the default "Godfather" role is only shown as a hint.
;<span id="attribute">attribute</span>: (''([[#secondary_object|sec. obj.]])'') - [[Attributes_in_Gramps|Attributes]] are for something permanent, or at least somewhat permanent: eye color, blood type, etc. Usually you would have not more than one of each attribute type for a [[#person|Person]]/[[#family|Family]]/etc. Attributes are managed from an Attributes tab in each [[#primary_object|primary Object]] Editor. There are a few pre-defined Attributes to support GEDCOM, but [[#custom|custom types]] will tend to be needed.
==B==
A [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports|Reports menu]] feature of Gramps that allows the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports_-_part_3|design or generation of a repeatable custom genealogy ''Book'']]. A Book consists of an ordered collation of Gramps textual and graphical reports in a single document. The individual report configuration options are also stored with the Book but the Book's document pagesize and print destination configuration options override.
;<span id="bride">Bride</span>: (''([[#event_role|event role]])'') A term to refer to the woman a marriage ceremony who will have the role of ''wife'' in the marriage. See also: ''mother''.
;<span id="bsddb">BSDDB</span>: (''([[Database_Backends|database backend]] engine)'') The [http://www.oracle.com/us/products/database/berkeley-db/overview/index.html Berkeley Software Distribution database] (also known as BSDDB) was the first ''default database engine'' used by the [[Database_Formats#Gramps_2.0|2.0]] through the [[Database_Formats#Gramps_5.0|5.0]] versions of Gramps. Originally, Gramps [[#xml|XML]] was used directly rather than as a Backup and data exchange format. The default db engine changed to [[#sqlite|SQLite]] in the 5.1 version via the [[DB-API_Database_Backend|DB-API Database Backend]]. ([[Install_latest_BSDDB|Manual updates to the BSDDB engine]] for the 5.1.3 version may be advisable.)
==C==
;<span id="category">Category</span>: (''(core concept)'') Gramps divides and organizes the information about each [[#primary_object|Primary Object]] into a series of different descriptive schemas called Categories, each with their own [[#view|View]]. Each Category is a smaller, more digestible portion of the total information that comprises a Genealogical Tree. The View categories are: <span id="dashboard view">{{icon|gram}} [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Dashboard_Category|Dashboard]]</span>, <span id="people view">{{icon|peop}} [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#People_Category|People]]</span>, <span id="relationships view">{{icon|rela}} [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Relationships_Category|Relationships]]</span>, <span id="families view">{{icon|fami}} [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Families_Category|Families]]</span>, <span id="charts view">{{icon|ance}} [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Charts_Category|Charts]]</span>, <span id="events view">{{icon|even}} [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Events_Category|Events]]</span>, <span id="places view">{{icon|plac}} [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Places_Category|Places]]</span>, <span id="geography view">{{icon|geog}} [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Geography_Category|Geography]]</span>, <span id="sources view">{{icon|sour34}} [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Sources_Category|Sources]]</span>, <span id="citations view">{{icon|cite}} [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Citations_Category|Citations]]</span>, <span id="repositories view">{{icon|repo}} [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Repositories_Category|Repositories]]</span>, <span id="media view">{{icon|medi}} [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Media_Category|Media]]</span>, <span id="notes view">{{icon|note}} [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Notes_Category|Notes]]</span>
;<span id="celebrant">Celebrant</span>: (''([[#event_role|event role]])'') A term describing a role of the person who performs a rite, especially referring to a priest at the Eucharist.
;[[File:Gramps-citation.png|right]]<span id="citation">Citation</span>: ''({{icon|cite}} ''[[#primary_object|prim. obj.]])'') - Contains the information that enables you or others to locate your source document. An isolated [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#Editing_source_citations|Citation can be created]] without first creating separate [[#source|Source]] object. But, should the same source be referenced repeatedly in a Tree, a separate Source simplifies the Citation and eliminates redundant information that must be harmonized.
;<span id="clergy">Clergy</span>: (''([[#event_role|event role]])'') A term applied to a religious person regardless of religion. For example, a monk or priest. See also: ''[[#celebrant|celebrant]]''.<br /><small>Religious terminology is often subject to dispute, see the [https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/clergy Merriam-Webster] for an independent definition.</small>
;[[File:Gramps_Clipboard48x48_win.png|right]]<span id="clipboard">Clipboard</span>: ''([[#gui|graphical user interface terminology]])'' - The [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Navigation#Using_the_Clipboard|Gramps Clipboard]] is a shortcut system for [[#sharing|sharing]] a [[#secondary_object|secondary]] object, navigation, and custom [[#filter|filter]] creation. <br />'''Usage:''' The Clipboard can be opened from a icon on the [[#toolbar|Toolbar]], from the Edit -> Clipboard menu choice or by using the Copy [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Keybindings#7|keybinding]] for the Active Record in the Active main view of a View category. A floating clipboard dialog that has become buried can be brought to the top of the stack by selecting '''Clipboard...''' from the Windows menu.<br /><small>The Clipboard can greatly improve data entry efficiency, see the "[[How_to_use_the_Gramps_Clipboard|How to use the Gramps Clipboard]]" article for more information.</small>
==D==
;<span id="date">date</span>: (''([[#secondary_object|sec. obj.]])'') - Dates in Gramps are much more complex than just a month, day, and year. Dates are always in a [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Calendars|particular calendar]], can span a time frame with the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Date_Type|Date Type]], the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Date_Quality|Date Quality]] can be exact (or an approximation variant), and have support for many other subtleties specific to genealogy data. The approximation can be fine-tuned with the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Limits|Limits]] preferences.<br />The [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Date_formats_and_parsing_rules|date parsing rules]] are applied whenever data is entered into a [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Editing_dates|date text field]] or a [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Date_selection_dialog|date selection dialog]].
;<span id="dna">DNA</span>:
==E==
;[[File:Gramps-event.png|right]]<span id="event">Event</span>: ''({{icon|even}} ''[[#primary_object|prim. obj.]])'') - Contains the information related to an happening. [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#Editing_information_about_events|Adding an Event record]] provides the context of an interaction of the roles of People/Families, dates & places in activities.<br />An Event is a defining moment in a person's life. See [[events in Gramps|events]] for the use in genealogy, for predefined events in Gramps and suggested naming for [[Events_in_Gramps|common events]].
;<span id="even role">event role</span>: The [[#role|role]] a [[#person|Person]] plays in an [[#Event|Event]]. The focal Person(s) holds a [[#primary|'''''Primary role''''']] in personal Events and the Family holds a [[#family_role|'''''Family role''''']] in Family events. In Gramps, an Event can be linked to as many participants as desired. Each [[#person|Person]] may participate in different roles but more than one Person might play the same role. The Event Role captures this and can be changed in the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#Event_Reference_Editor_dialog|Event Reference Editor]]. Some common Roles are pre-defined but the user can add other [[#custom|custom]] Roles by just typing in the appropriate new label into the [[#selector_combo_box|selector combo box]].
;<span id="family">Family</span>:
#[[File:Gramps-family.png|right]]'''Family''''' ({{icon|fami}} ''[[#primary_object|prim. obj.]])'') - Contains the information specific to relationships between people. The information may be edited directly using the {{man label|[[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Editing_information_about_relationships|Edit Family]]}} dialog.<br />This traditionally contains one or two parents and zero or more children. A family unit is created in Gramps by [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_brief#Specifying_a_relationship_using_the_Relationship_View|adding Parents to an individual]], by [[Add_a_spouse|adding a partner/spouse]] to an individual, or by adding a family first then adding the people. (A family can even consist of just the offspring.)<br />The Family relationship is a core concept in Gramps. It depicts the basic relations between people. Commonly this will contain a father, a mother and some children, however, it can also contain only parts of this (<abbr title="exempli gratia - Latin phrase meaning 'for example'">e.g.</abbr>, two brothers, a mother and child). People can be part of several families (adoption, remarried, ...) #'''<span id="family role">Family</span>''' (''([[#event_role|event role]])'') An event can be coupled to a family, denoting that the both partners were equally involved in the event. Typically, the Marriage event will be coupled to a family with event role ''family''. '''Family''' is the ''default'' role when adding a new Event in the [[#edit_family|Edit Family]] dialog.
;<span id="file chooser"><span id="gtk file chooser">File Chooser</span></span>:
::GEDCOM [https://www.familysearch.org/developers/docs/guides/gedcom-x X proposed in 2012] and [https://blog.eogn.com/2019/10/04/the-proposed-gedcom-5-5-5-standard-is-a-better-gedcom/ 5.5.5 proposed in 2019] are improvements that have not gained the approval of the copyright holder. As of June 2021, these proposals have been superseded by the GEDCOM 7.0.1 version.
;<span id="godparent">Godparent</span>: (''([[#event_role|event role]])'') - A term to refer to the person who presents a child at a christening or baptism and promises to take responsibility for guiding the child emotionally, practically, and spiritually. This person will be referred to as ''godfather'' or ''godmother'' after the christening or baptism. See also: ''[[Add_a_godfather-godmother|Add a godfather-godmother]]''.
;<span id="gramplet">Gramplet</span>: A [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Gramplets#definition|Gramplet]] is a plug-in (<abbr title="also known as — abbreviation used to indicate another name that a person/thing has/uses">''aka''</abbr> [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_widget widget] or [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Applet applet]) that can be [[#dock|docked]] in the {{icon|gram}} [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Dashboard_Category|Dashboard]] category view. Later [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window#Bottombar_and_Sidebar|sidebar or bottombar]] were added to the remaining [[#view|views]] to extend [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window#Gramplet_Bar_Menu|adding]] and [[#undock|undocking]] a Gramplet functionality of those view. <br />Gramplets dynamically update as the different records are selected in the main display area of a view. Gramplets typically create an alternate interface to your Family Tree data. Collections of [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Gramplets#Summary_of_Gramplets|builtin]] and [[{{man version}}_Addons#Addon_List|"3rd party addon"]] gramplets are available for [[{{man version}}_Addons#Installing_Addons_in_Gramps|installation]] and download with the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Plugin_Manager|Plug-in Manager]]. The Plug-in Manager also regulates a [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Gramplets#Aren.27t_all_Plugins_also_Gramplets.3F|wide variety of other builtin and addons]] which can expand functionality unrelated to the interface.
:The '''Gramps Web''' GUI (or frontend) is a platform-agnostic web browser interface built with the [https://lit.dev/ Lit] lightweight JavaScript library for building fast, interoperable web components. Although the hosting side requires a webmaster with significant skills, genealogical collaborators can use web browser on almost any device.
;<span id="groom">Groom</span>: (''([[#event_role|event role]])'') - A term to refer to the man at a marriage who will be referred to as ''husband'' after the marriage. See also: ''[[Add_a_spouse|Add a spouse]]''.
<!-- No id="gui" here. That goes under Graphial User Interface above -->

[[File:Gramps Go-Home48x48 win.png|right]]
;<span id="home person">Home Person</span>: (''(core concept)'') - The persistently designated '''Home Person''' is the foundational [[#person|Person]] (the [[Genealogy_Glossary#proband|Proband]], [[Genealogy_Glossary#progenitor|Progenitor]], or [[Genealogy_Glossary#progenitrix|Progenitrix]]) in the Tree (the currently open Gramps database). This Person is the central target of genealogical research and family references extend from this center. Ideally, every person, event and source in the Tree will (however directly or indirectly) relate back to the '''Home Person'''.<br />By default, the database reports describe everything else in contextual relation to this person. The [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window#Status_Bar_and_Progress_Bar|Status Bar]], the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Gramplets#Quick_View|Quick View]] called "[[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports_-_part_8#Relation_to_Home_Person|Relation to Home Person]]", and the Third party addon [[#gramplet|Gramplet]] called "[[Addon:Deep_Connections_Gramplet|Deep Connections]]" all describe different aspects of the relationship of the [[#active_person|Active Person]] to the '''Home Person'''.<br />You (or your client) are customarily designated ([[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Setting_Home_person|set]]) as the Home Person. And this ''Home'' designation serves as a persistent point of reference for the rest of the Tree in Reports generally and for the Active Person in detail. But a different '''Home Person''' might be temporarily [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Setting_Home_person|set]] when generating reports or when researching a complex biography or obituary. <Br />Fascinating tidbits often lure Gramps researchers into wandering off-course. When the [[#active_person|Active Person]] has become lost, the bearings can be instantly regained by navigating the [[#active_person|Active Person]] selection back to the '''Home Person'''.<br /><small>Navigate to '''Home Person''' - ''keyboard shortcut''</small> {{man key press|Alt|Home}} or press the toolbar <!-- broken icon {{icon|thom}}-->[[File:Gramps_Go-Home48x48 win.png|text-bottom|20px]]{{man button|Home}} button. <br />The custom filter rule for finding the '''Home Person''' is in a People category filter under the General filters and was named 'Default person' until the 5.1 version.
==I==
;<span id="informant">Informant</span>: (''([[#event_role|event role]])'') - A term to refer to the [[#role|Role]] of Person who reports an [[#event|Event]].

;[[File:Gramps-media.png|right]]<span id="media">Media</span>: ''({{icon|medi}} ''[[#primary_object|prim. obj.]])'') - Contains the information related to a media object. Media objects include images, videos, audio recordings, documents, webpages or any other type of related files.
:When new Media objects are edited from the Gallery tabs of Object Editors or from the Media category view, the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#Editing_information_about_media_objects|New Media editor]] allows the metadata to be modified.
: Gramps divides and organizes the information about each [[#primary_object|Primary Object]] into a series of [[#category|Categories]], each with their own View. Each of the Category Views displays a smaller, more digestible portion of the total information that comprises a Genealogical Tree. The View categories are: <span id="dashboard view">{{icon|gram}} [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Dashboard_Category|Dashboard]]</span>, <span id="people view">{{icon|peop}} [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#People_Category|People]]</span>, <span id="relationships view">{{icon|rela}} [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Relationships_Category|Relationships]]</span>, <span id="families view">{{icon|fami}} [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Families_Category|Families]]</span>, <span id="charts view">{{icon|ance}} [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Charts_Category|Charts]]</span>, <span id="events view">{{icon|even}} [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Events_Category|Events]]</span>, <span id="places view">{{icon|plac}} [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Places_Category|Places]]</span>, <span id="geography view">{{icon|geog}} [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Geography_Category|Geography]]</span>, <span id="sources view">{{icon|sour34}} [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Sources_Category|Sources]]</span>, <span id="citations view">{{icon|cite}} [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Citations_Category|Citations]]</span>, <span id="repositories view">{{icon|repo}} [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Repositories_Category|Repositories]]</span>, <span id="media view">{{icon|medi}} [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Media_Category|Media]]</span>, <span id="notes view">{{icon|note}} <span id="notes view">[[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Notes_Category|Notes]]</span>
;[[File:Gramps-notes.png|right]]<span id="note">Note</span>: ''({{icon|note}} ''[[#primary_object|prim. obj.]])'') - Contains the information representing a textual brief record of facts and how it [[#reference|references]] other objects in the Tree. Notes can be added to any object at any any level of the Tree and are often used to detail the context of that record in the Tree.
:Records in the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Notes_Category|Note Category]] contain free-form text with [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#Note_markup_and_preformat_in_reports|basic formatting]] and [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#Link_Editor|linking]] features. Notes can be categorized by [[#tag|Tag]] and [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#note_type|Type]] in addition to the object to which it is attached. That information is created and modified using the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#Editing_information_about_notes|Notes Editor]].
;<span id="object editor">Object Editor</span> <small>''(<abbr title="also known as — abbreviation used to indicate another name that a person/thing has/uses">''aka''</abbr> Edit Object dialogs)''</small>:
: (''(core concept)'') - The object editor dialogs show the basic info of the [[#primary_object|Primary Object]] in the structured form of the header area where it can be directly edited. And the bottom tabbed section allows the editing of interrelationships with [[#secondary_object|secondary objects]] and provides access to the Object Editors for those secondary objects.

;<span id="officiator">Officiator</span>: (''([[#event_role|event role]])'') - A term to refer to the role of a person authorized to conduct an official duty or function. (Such as performing a marriage or funeral ceremony or conferring a vocational degree.) Jurisdiction may be derived from a from holding a position of civil or religious authority. <small><i>Use 'OFFICIATOR' rather than 'Officiant' for [[#gedcom|GEDCOM7]] Roles compatibility.</i></small>
==P==
;<span id="patronymic">patronym</span>:
:(''([[#name_origin|Name origin]] attribute)'') - Personal name based on the name of one's father.
;[[File:Gramps-person.png|right]]<span id="person">Person</span>: ''({{icon|peop}} ''[[#primary_object|prim. obj.]])'') - Contains the information specific to an individual person in the People category. The information may be edited directly using the [[#edit_person|Edit Person]] dialog.
;[[File:Gramps-place.png|right]]<span id="place">Place</span>: ''({{icon|plac}} ''[[#primary_object|prim. obj.]])'') - The Gramps concept of a Place is a particular location independent of time. Over time, the same Place may have different hierarchical (or name) information due to changing borders and political situation. For example, Leningrad and St. Petersburg represent the same place, but with different names. Places in Gramps are stored in a hierarchy and are direct accessed via the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Places_Category|Places category view]]. Places can be defined (or refined) through the Place Editor and shared with the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#Select_Place_selector|Select Place]] object selector. A Place consists of:
:* Descriptive Title
