Gramps

Gramps is a professional software application whose purpose is to help you keep track of your genealogy with the aid of a family tree, detailed information about each person, graphic representations, listed events, places and sources, media files (photos and videos), as well as text notes.

Although it comes packed with many dedicated parameters, you are welcomed by a clean feature lineup where you can easily access the family trees and key features of the program, such as People, Relationships, Families, Ancestry, Events, Places, Sources, Citations, Repositories, Media, and other useful parameters.

Gramps gives you the possibility to monitor the progress of your research with the use of dashboard that lets you add a variety of widgets for analyzing your data.

Comprehensive information can be added for each person, such as personal details (e.g. ID, gender, birth and death dates, event, note), and you can view relationships (summary of the active person's parents, siblings, spouses, and children), and check lists with every family group including parent names, relationship dates, as well as marriage dates.

The ancestry feature enables you to analyze the graphical representation of a person with photos and birth/death dates, events (descriptions, event types, dates, places), places (place names and location details), interactive map highlighting places associated with one person, a group of people or all recorded people, and sources (authors and publication details).

Last but not least, you can check a list with source repositories referenced in your records with web addresses, physical addresses and email contact information, add media items and preview the thumbnails, as well as insert text notes.

The tool enables you to upload information from GPKG, GRDB, GW, DEF, GED, GRAMPS, CSV, or VCF file format, create backups, add bookmarks, as well as generate various reports, such as books, graphical reports (e.g. ancestor tree, calendar, statistics chart), graphs (hourglass), and text reports.

Gramps proves to be a reliable application that provides a complete suite of tools for helping you keep track with your genealogy. The intuitive layout makes it an ideal program for rookies and professionals alike. If you want to skip the installation steps, you can download the portable version of the program, which can be found here.
