This section contains tools allowing you to perform a simple operation on a portion of data. The results can be saved in your database, but they will not modify your existing data. The following utilities are currently available in GRAMPS:

==== SoundEx what is this? ====

The name you put in can by any name even a name not present in your Family Tree.

The result is shown automatically: R236

[[Image:notrelated.png|right|thumb|200px|Fig. a.a Not related]]

This report will find people who are not related to the selected person.

If you select a person you can use the {{man label|Marker}} text field: 3 choices are possible: blank (you can fill in whatever suits you), TODO, and NotRelated. With the {{man button|Apply}} you can apply the selected marker to the person. This marker will then show up in the right hand side column.

This utility calculates and displays the relationship of any person to the Active Person.

[[Image:verifydata.png|right|thumb|250px|Fig. z.z Verify the Data...]]

This utility allows you to verify the database based on the set of criteria specified by you.

With the {{man button|Close}} button (or hit <Alt+C>) you close the {{man label|Results}} window.

With the {{man button|Help}} button (or hitting <Alt+H>) you will get to this page.

For example, you may want to make sure that nobody in your database had children at the age of 98. Based on common sense, such a record would indicate an error. However, it is not a consistency error in the database. Besides, someone might have a child at the age of 98 (although this rarely happens). The Verify tool will display everything that violates your criteria so that you can check whether the record is erroneous or not. The ultimate decision is yours.
