Preparation
If you are just starting your genealogy, it's best to begin with yourself, and add other people as they connect with you.
''{{man menu|One of the most important things in genealogy is that you record how and where you found/deduced the information. }}'' This is known as a Source. What makes this so important is '''at a later time you will need or want to revisit this information. ''' Having a source for your information will also '''create trust with other researchers .'''
So, if you begin with yourself, you are ''interviewing'' yourself, which is a primary source on the subject. From this primary source you obtain events such as birth day, baptize day, graduation, ... . The source of the events allows you to deduce a person existed, as part of a family.  With this, we have our main terms for '''genealogy: sources, events, persons and families. ''' Apart from these, Gramps allows you to store Notes, Places, Media (pictures, movies, documents), and [[Repositories in Gramps|Repository]].
So, let's now start with adding information into Gramps.
