Gramps Genealogy Software v4.1.1 - overview

An overview of the interface

Thank you! I'm making a tutorial blog post based on this video (I referenced source in post). Gramps is quite confusing to figure out at least initially.

Very helpful. I hope the other videos go deeper into Citations. But, 18:11 is misleading enough to be outright wrong. Right under "Export..." is "Make Backup...". In fact, "Make Backup..." is just "Export... the whole tree to gramps' XML format" .

Thanks for review!

How do you correct mistakes? For example you've discovered your line is following an uncle (brother of your true line). What's a good way to make your changes? Thanks.

I'm stuck - can't get back into my tree that I spent all day doing - When I click to open the tree I get a message stating i need to force unlock ??? I'm not an IT expert and cannot find any useful info on how to do this - Also when it's eventually solved, how do I stop this ridiculous thing from happening again anyway - I don't need the program to lock itself ever

How do I include the birth and death places on a pedigree report (Chart)

Gramps looks primitive compared to Rootsmagic.

but its free.......

Too complicated.

Trouble is it feels like they load on all these features when you're starting meaning trying to do basic things gets buried in all the extra options so it's more of a learning curve. It could do with a simple mode really.
