To export your database:

A selected set of fields of your genealogy data will be saved to a .csv file in the format described below. In addition, the people and families are referenced so that the data can be edited and read back in, thereby updating the database.
Here is an example spreadsheet in LibreOffice, but any spreadsheet program should work.

And here is the resulting data in Gramps:

Finally, this also make place P0001 be enclosed by place P0002.

In Using Gramps [[Example.gramps]] for this example, I had . The children already exist in the Family Tree. So you can enter an entire generation to enter, 16 (8 names with marriage dates. The children I already had in the database. I entered them ) into LibreOffice:Calc.
Notice that you can use numbers or strings as the reference names between areas. In the person area, I used the numbers 1 through 168. That made it easy to refer to them in the second area of marriages. The marriages are labeled with the letters A through HD.
Also note that in the spreadsheet the children in the third area are existing people in Gramps as indicated by the brackets around the Gramps IDs.
Saving as CSV and importing into Gramps produces the far right-hand column in the tree:.
