== Event types available in Gramps==
[[File:EditEvent-dialog-example-50.png|thumb|right|400px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Edit Event - dialog - example]]The use of most event types is self explanatory, and the best way to familiarise familiarize yourself with them is simply to set to and dabblewith the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#Editing_information_about_events|Event Editor]]! However , some events need more careful use, and exploration as they introduce concepts that are not obvious at first obvious.
==Life Events==
==Fallback Events==
Gramps uses a number of Fallback events in lists and views when one of the main life events is missing.
As an example, a person's Baptism event may be known but not the Birth event. In the lists and views if there is no Birth event, the date of the Baptism is used where the birth date would normally be displayed. When these dates are used, the date will be displayed in italics.
The Fallback events are:
;Birth: ''Baptism'' or ''Christening''
;Death: ''Burial'', ''Cremation'' or ''Cause of Death''
;Marriage: ''Engagement'' or ''Alternate Marriage''
;Divorce: ''Annulment'' or ''Divorce Filing''
