- I practise genealogy since 1999
- I try to translate Gramps into french ...
How Gramps helps me to practise genealogy ?
I use 3 different databases (Family Trees) into Gramps :
- my family (all data related to my ancestors/descendants and relatives).
- Two other databases with all informations concerning the patronymic of my mother and father.
The data structure is not the same on databases ! Sources are not the same (archives and documents versus internet or disconnected informations).
Sources on my primary database :
I rather want to have a copy of the source : I can check and share the info.
- Copies of certificates, acts or documents : 76%
Image + transcription on note + repository and call number.
- Relatives or persons as a sources : 13 %
Private informations (address, email) as a private note on source. I use this type of source on events, attributes, names, media, relationships and on person/family (only for "End of line" without informations).
- Family documents : 6%
- Online hosted "sources" + some urls written on individuals by using "Internet" tab : 2%
i.e : birth 1809-1815 - city of Amsterdam / repository : Amsterdam Archives. death 1830 -1845 - city of Amsterdam / repository : Amsterdam Archives. I rather try to make one source for one event/fact : I want to have a copy of the information.
- Genealogical societies, publications : 1%
- Cemeteries : 0.8%
- Old books : 0.5%
If not numerical, (volume/page) related to an individual/family or event + repository (call number).
- Newspapers, Travels, myself : 0.1%
Sources on my "patronymic" databases :
I rather want to have a simple reference : I search the info, often online.
- Internet : 48%
- Copies of certificates, acts or documents : 26%
Image + transcription on note + repository and call number.
- Online hosted "sources" + some urls written on individuals by using "Internet" tab : 11%
i.e : birth 1809-1815 - city of Amsterdam / repository : Amsterdam Archives. death 1830 -1845 - city of Amsterdam / repository : Amsterdam Archives.
- Old books : 6%
If not numerical, (volume/page) related to an individual/family or event + repository (call number).
- Persons as sources : 5%
Private informations (address, email) as a private note on source. I use this type of source on events, attributes, names, media, relationships, persons/families.
- Genealogical societies, publications : 4%
