==Example of using the Census Addon==
 
This is an example of how to get started with the Census Addon after it is installed as described above. The 1941 UK census is used as the example:
# Start or open a family tree in Gramps.
# Add a person (name and gender) if this is a new family tree.
# Go to the Source view.
# Add a source with a title like "Source for 1841 Census"
# Open that source and go to the "Data" tab.
# Click on the plus symbol to add a key and value.
# Fill in in the key column with "Census" and hit enter.
# Click on Value column and fill in "UK1841", hit enter.
# Click on OK.
# Reopen the Source to see if the key and value pair have been successfully stored in the "Data" tab (optional).
# Go to the People view and switch on the sidebar (View->sidebar).
# Add the "Census Gramplet" by rightclicking on the side bar and choosing "Add Gramplet->Census Gramplet".
# Select the person that you created (or an existing person that appears in that census) in the main window.
# In the Census Gramplet on the sidebar, click "New".
# The New Census" gramplet form should open and you can click on the arrow down bútton to the right of "Source". You should see the "Source for 1841 Census". Select this.
# Now you can enter all of the details from the census (e.g. Reference to the page and the address), and then add people in the normal Gramps way.
# Fill in the details from the census page against each person.
