Changes

Kinder werden nicht einer Person hinzugefügt. Kinder werden einer Familie hinzugefügt. Ein Kind kann zu mehreren Familien gehören.

Ein Kind kann auf verschiedenen Wegen zu einer Familie hinzugefügt werden, abhängig vom Kontext.

If the family to which you want to add a child is not displayed, then you should select the {{man button|Add Partner}} button (in older versions of GRAMPS, this button was simply called {{man label|Spouse}}). This will display an Edit Family form in which the Active Person is listed as either the father or the mother. At this point, you may add children and/or a spouse.

If you wish to add a child to a new family (a family that does not yet exist in the database), click on the {{man button|Add}} button on the toolbar. This will bring up an Edit Family form. On this form, you may add parents and children.

When you look at the list of children in a family, those with the same birthdate are obviously twins. But if you don't know the birthdate, or only know the year, you need some other way to indicate the relationship. You can do this by having them share a single birth event.

Now when you view the event list for either Thomas or Peter, you will see the {{man label|Description}} reminding you that they are twins. And as you add details such as birth date to the birth event for either of them, those details will automatically display for the other as well.

== Adding an occupation or other special information ==

It is sometimes indicated in old documents that the person's activity was brewer, nails maker, woodchopper, etc. Edit the person's event or select the Attribute Tab. There add a new Attribute to add and select the wished information. Type what you want to add.
