This chapter describes the various {{man label|Tools}} available in Gramps.
 
Gramps {{man label|Tools}} allow you to perform various types of analysis of your genealogical data. Typically, the tools do not produce output in form of printouts or files. Instead, they produce screen output immediately available for the researcher. However, when appropriate, you can save the results of running a tool into a file.

== Analysis and Exploration ==
 
This section contains tools which analyze and explore the database, but do not alter it. The following analysis and exploration tools are currently available in Gramps:
 
===<u>Compare Individual Events</u>===
[[File:CompareIndividualEvents-EventComparisonFilterSelection-dialog-default-60.png|right|thumb|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} "Compare Individual Events" - "Event comparison filter selection" - dialog]]
{{stub}}
This tool compares events across the selected group of people.
 
You can use this tool via menu {{man menu|Tools->Analysis and Exploration > Compare Individual Events...}} which will open the {{man label|Event comparison filter selection}} dialog
 
The people for this comparison can be chosen from previously created custom filters by selecting the {{man label|Filter:}} drop down list, which defaults to the ''Entire Database''. Or by selecting the {{man button|Custom Filter Editor}} button, to create custom filters in the {{man label|Person Filters}} editor. To run the report select {{man button|Apply}} and the results will be displayed in the {{man label|Event Comparison Results}} dialog.
 
{{-}}
From the {{man label|Event Comparison Results}} dialog you can view the results or {{man button|Save as}} the resulting table as a spreadsheet (ODS format). Select {{man button|Close}} to exit the report.

===<u>Extract Place Data from a Place Title</u>===
 
{{man warn|This tool has been moved to [[Third-party_Addons|third party addons]]!|when the Place Hierarchy was first added to Gramps, every user needed a tool to [[Addon:Extract Place Data from a Place Title]]. Now that that a Hierarchy of Places is well established, the tool is needed infrequently. So installation has been made optional.}}
 
===<u>Find Possible Duplicate People</u>===
 
[[File:FindPossibleDuplicatePeople-dialog-default-60.png|right|thumb|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Find Possible Duplicate People - dialog - default]]
 
The '''Find Possible Duplicate People''' tool searches the entire Tree database, looking for the entries that may represent the same person.
 
You can access this tool via the menu {{man menu|Tool -> Family Tree Processing -> Find Possible Duplicate People...}}.
 
The {{man label|Find Possible Duplicate People}} dialog will be shown and you can adjust the following options:
*{{man label|Match Threshold}} : choose between '''Low''' (default), Medium and High from the drop down menu.
{{man note|How is the quality of match measured?|2=This calculates the chances (or 'odds') of matching on a quality scale labeled as low, medium and high. For each piece of information that corresponds, the quality of the match is considered to be marginally increased. The closer the particular pieces of data correlate, the larger the increase. When the chance is greater than the selected '''Match Threshold''' then a match will reported. The thresholds are Low=0.25, Medium=1.0 and High=2.0. So, with the filtering threshold set to High, fewer matches are expected.}}
 
{{man label|Options}}
*{{checkbox|1}} {{man label|Use [[Gramps_6.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Gramplets#SoundEx_Gramplet|soundex]] codes}} for matching possible duplicate people. (checkbox checked by default)
 
The following buttons are present: {{man button|Help}} brings you to this page, {{man button|Cancel}} to stop processing and an {{man button|OK}} button to start processing the data.
 
Select {{man button|OK}} to start the tool and the data will be processed in two passes.
 
*Pass 1: Building preliminary lists
*Pass 2: Calculating potential matches.
 
A progress bar will be shown and depending the speed of your computer and the amount of people in the database this can take some time.

Once the report finishes a {{man label|Potential Merges}} result list window is presented with the following columns shown:
*{{man label|Rating}} : this gives you an idea of the resemblance between the two people. The higher the ranking, the higher the chance that the people are duplicates.
*{{man label|First Person}}
*{{man label|Second Person}}
 
You can either double-click on the selected row or select the {{man button|Compare}} button to check the details.
 
Three buttons are present: {{man button|Help}} brings you to this page, a {{man button|Close}} to close the window which returns you to the {{man label|Find Possible Duplicate People}} window and a {{man button|Compare}} button to which brings up the {{man label|Merge People}} window which was explained in detail in the [[Gramps_6.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_Editing_Data:_Detailed_-_part_3#Merge_People|Merge People]] Dialog. Here you can select with the radio buttons one of the persons and eventually use the {{man button|OK}} button to merge the data if you find the two persons are duplicates.
 
Selecting the {{man button|Cancel}} button brings you back to the {{man label|Potential Merges}} result list window.

===<u>Fix Capitalization of Family Names</u>===
 
This tool searches the entire database and attempts to fix the capitalization of family names.
 
The aim is to have conventional capitalization: capital first letter and lower case for the rest of the family name. If deviations from this rule are detected, the candidates for fixing will be presented in the table.
 
You may then decide which to repair as suggested and which not to.
 
You can use this tool via menu {{man menu|Tools->Family Tree Processing->Fix Capitalization of Family Names...}}.
 
{{man warn|Undo history|Proceeding with this tool will erase the undo history for this session. In particular, you will not be able to revert the changes made by this tool or any changes made prior to it.

If there where changes to the capitalization of any names you will be presented with the {{man label|Capitalization changes}} results window. The window shows a list of the family names that Gramps can convert to (according to Gramps) correct capitalization (please check that it is correct for you.). In the {{man label|Capitalization changes}} results window list the following columns are available:
*{{checkbox|1}} {{man label|Select}} - Check or uncheck these on a "by name" basis if you choose not to accept the recommendation (checkbox checked by default)
* {{man label|Original Name}} - The name as currently recorded.
* {{man label|Capitalization Change}} - The name with change if applied.
 
Select the names you want to be changed, then select the {{man button|Accept changes and close}} button. Or use the {{man button|Cancel}} button to abort changes.
{{-}}
 
You can also install the "[[Addon:Fix Capitalization of Given Names]]" tool Addon that once installed works almost identically to this tool but works for "Given Names"

===<u>Reorder Gramps ID</u>===
 
This tool can be used to Reorder your Gramps IDs. Several options are available.
 
{{man warn|Custom IDs'|If you customized your IDs', all those can be replaced by this tool. So take care before you use this tool!}}
 
[[File:ReorderGrampsIDs-dialog-example-60.png|right|thumb|400px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Reorder IDs]]
 
You can use this tool via menu {{man menu|Tools->Family Tree Processing->Reorder Gramps IDs...}}.
 
The 'Object' column lists the type of ID. Immediately to the left of this column are checkboxes that allow the enabling of changes to individual object types. When checked, the type can be reordered. The 'Object' label is actually a button that can be used to toggle all of the check boxes at once.
 
The 'Actual' column shows an example of the current ID. The 'Quantity' column show the number of objects.
 
The 'Format' column can be used to change the ID format for each object type. Note that the format consists of a prefix, the '%04d' and suffix. There MUST be at least a prefix or a suffix, both are allowed. It is recommended to keep these relatively short. The '%04d' defines the length of the numeric portion of the ID, the '4' can be changed, anything from '3' (allowing numbers from 000-999) to '9' (000000000-999999999) is allowed. Changes made here are the same as made in the menu {{man menu|Edit->Preferences...}} and then select the '''[[Gramps_6.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#ID_Formats|ID Formats]]''' tab. The 'Format' label is actually a button that can be used to reset all the formats to the last used value.
 
The 'Change' column contains checkboxes for each object type. If this is checked, the IDs for that object will be replaced with new IDs of the 'Format' style, unless 'Keep' is also checked. If there is no check, the ID formats are NOT updated, but the number field within the format is renumbered. The 'Change' label is actually a button that can be used to toggle all of the check boxes at once.
 
The 'Start' field indicates the starting number used during the renumber operation. The 'Start' label is actually a button that can be used to toggle between start at 0, and start after last current number.
 
The 'Step' field indicates the interval between numbers during the renumber, '1' is a simple increment, '2' will increment by 2 etc. The 'Step' label is actually a button that can be used to toggle between '1', '2', '5', and '10'.
 
The 'Keep' column contains checkboxes for each object type. If this and 'Change' is checked, the ID formats for that object will be retained, and the number field within the format is renumbered. The 'Keep' label is actually a button that can be used to toggle all of the check boxes at once.
 
The '''Undo history warning''' will be shown and you can either {{man button|Stop}} or {{man button|Proceed with the tool}}.
 
{{man warn|Undo history|Proceeding with this tool will erase the undo history for this session. In particular, you will not be able to revert the changes made by this tool or any changes made prior to it. If you think you may want to revert running this tool, please stop here and backup your database.}}
 
When you click 'OK', the tool will show a progress bar.
 
In different stages the following IDs' are reordered: Reordering People IDs', Reordering Family IDs', Reordering Event IDs', Reordering Media Object IDs', Reordering Source IDs', Reordering Citation IDs', Reordering Place IDs', Reordering Repository IDs' and finally Reordering Note IDs'.
 
In a next step unused IDs' are searched for and assigned.
 
During this process the tool will examine each ID to see if it looks like it has been 'customized', if it doesn't look like the previous ID format or the default ID format. This might be the case if the user had entered his own text in the ID field for the object when editing it. It might also occur if the third party [[Addon:GetGOV|GetGOV Addon]] or [[Addon:GeoName|GeoName Addon]] has been used, as that tool stores the GOV ID in the ID field. If a 'customized' ID is found, it will ask the user if he really wants to replace the ID. The dialog also allows the user to use the same answer for other customized IDs found.
 
===<u>Sort Events</u>===
 
Events appearing on the Event tab on a Person or Family Editor are not sorted in any particular order other than the order that the events were added. The reason for not enforcing any particular ordering, particularly ordering by date, is to allow for the situation where an event was known to have happened but the exact chronology is not. Importing or merging data from an external source can lead to extra events being added to, but out of sequence with, the existing set of events of a person or family.
 
Events can be manually re-ordered by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag-and-drop ''drag & drop''] or by use of the re-order buttons on the {{man label|[[Gramps_6.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_1#Events|Events]]}} tab. Either way, an event can be moved up or down in the list of events and Gramps will remember the new order when the changes are saved. The new ordering will be used wherever events are shown elsewhere in Gramps, such as on a report.
 
The order of all events on a tab can also be changed by clicking a column title. For example, clicking the 'Date' column header will sort all the events in date order. However this way of sorting events is temporary and changes to the event order are not preserved when the window is closed.
 
The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag-and-drop ''drag and drop''] approach to sorting events is fine for moving a small number of events but is not practical for large scale changes. The Sort Events tool has been designed specifically for this purpose, re-sorting all events in the database or just those associated with a targeted selection of people chosen by using a filter.
 
You can use this tool via menu {{man menu|Tools->Family Tree Processing->Sort events...}}.
 
The '''Undo history warning''' will be shown and you can either {{man button|Stop}} or {{man button|Proceed with the tool}}.
 
{{man warn|Undo history|Proceeding with this tool will erase the undo history for this session. In particular, you will not be able to revert the changes made by this tool or any changes made prior to it. If you think you may want to revert running this tool, please stop here and backup your database.}}
 
{{-}}

The first option on the {{man label|Sort Events}} dialog window is used to define the range of people who's events are to be sorted. The first choice in the list is to apply the sorting to all people in the database. Alternative choices are to apply sorting to ancestors and descendants of a chosen person or to a range of people selected by a custom built person filter. After choosing who the sort should apply to, the next thing to consider is how the events should be sorted. The first option is to sort by date. This is probably the most likely choice, but other event attributes can be chosen too. The final choices are whether to make the events sorted ascending or descending and whether to apply the sort to family events that the selected people belong to as well.

===<u>Check and Repair Database</u>===
 
{{man warn|1=Warning|2=The {{man label|Check and repair Database}} tool performs automatic fixes. Once completed, this cannot be undone by the regular {{man label|Undo}} function.}}
 
This tool checks the database for integrity problems, fixing the problems it can. Specifically, the tool is checking for:
 
*Broken family links. These are the cases when a person's record refers to a family while the family's record does not refer to that person, and vice versa.
 
*Missing media objects. The missing media object is the object whose file is referenced in the database but does not exist. This can happen when the file is accidentally deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.
 
*Empty families. These are the family entries which have no reference to any person as their member.
 
*Parent relationship. This checks all families to ensure that father and mother are not mixed up. The check is also made that parents have different gender. If they have common gender then their relationship is renamed to "Partners".
 
You can use this tool via menu {{man menu|Tools->Family Tree Repair->Check and Repair Database...}}.
 
{{man warn|Undo history|Proceeding with this tool will erase the undo history for this session. In particular, you will not be able to revert the changes made by this tool or any changes made prior to it.

You can use this tool via menu {{man menu|Tools &#x27a1; Family Tree Repair &#x25B6; Rebuild Secondary Indexes...}}.
 
Once completed the {{man label|Secondary indexes rebuilt}} result dialog will be shown.
 
The {{man menu|Rebuild Secondary indexes...}} re-constructs the secondary tables in the Tree db. These tables include things like gender statistics (Given Name versus gender) to allow guessing the gender of names as they are entered, surnames (for faster lookup of possible surname and to make the person tree view work), the various IDs for objects (to facilitate lookup by ID), place enclosure tables, to make the place tree view work, and a few others.
 
In theory, these tables are kept constantly up-to-date when anything changes. So rebuilding the Reference Maps and Secondary Indices should not be necessary. But, especially early on in the Gramps history, bugs sometimes interfered with updates completing correctly. So the tools remain available... &lsquo;just in case&rsquo;.

[[File:FindDatabaseLoop-dialog-example1-50.png|right|thumb|400px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Find possible loop]]
 
The {{man label|Find database loop}} utility allows you to verify if you have ancestral loops in the database.
 
Select this via the menu {{man menu|Tools->Utilities->Find database loop...}} you will get a {{man label|Find database loop}} window. The window has five tabs; {{man label|Gramps_ID}},{{man label|Parent}}, {{man label|Gramps_ID}}, {{man label|Child}}, {{man label|Family ID}}.
 
# First Gramps_ID is a reference to the Parent.
# Parent (Ancestor on the image) is the person we are looking for a loop.
# Second Gramps_ID is a reference to the Child.
# Child (Descendant) is the origin of the loop.
# Family_ID is a reference to the associated family

[[File:FindDatabaseLoop-dialog-example2-50.png|right|thumb|600px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Find possible loop in a complex example]]
 
In the following complex example, we have multiple ancestral loops :
 
If we look at the second line, we have :
# First Gramps_ID : I0002
# Parent is : Father, Child2
# Second Gramps_ID : I0001
# Child is : Father, Father
# Family_ID is : F0000
 
To understand what happens :
#we start at [I0002] Father, Child2.
#We continue with his son [I0003] Father, Child3.
#We continue with his son : [I0000] Child, Child.
#We continue with his son : [I0001] Father, Father.
#We continue with his son : [I0002] Father, Child2 ==> '''HERE, we have a ancestral loop'''.

===<u>Media Manager</u>===
 
{{stub}}
 
[[File:Introduction-page-MediaManager-50.png|right|thumb|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Introduction - page for "Gramps Media Manager" - Tool wizard]]
 
The {{man label|Gramps Media Manager}} is a group of four separate tools accessed via a wizard like dialog that you can access via the menu {{man menu|Tools->Utilities->Media Manager...}} which will show the first '''Introduction''' dialog page with the following information on the tools abilities.
 
{{man note|Introduction|This tool allows [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batch_processing batch operations] on media objects stored in Gramps. An important distinction must be made between a Gramps media object and its file.
 
The Gramps media object is a collection of data about the media object file: its filename and/or path, its description, its ID, notes, source references, etc. These data '''do not include the file itself'''.
 
The files containing image, sound, video, etc. exist separately on your hard drive. These files are not managed by Gramps and are not included in the Gramps database. The Gramps database only stores the path and file names.
 
This tool allows you to only modify the records within your Gramps database. If you want to move or rename the files then you need to do it on your own, outside of Gramps. Then you can adjust the paths using this tool so that the media objects store the correct file locations.}}
 
{{-}}
 
From the '''Introduction''' page selecting the {{man button|Next}} button (or using the keyboard shortcut {{man key press|Alt|N}}) you will be shown the '''Selection''' page window.
 
[[File:Selection-page-MediaManager-default-50.png|right|thumb|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Selection - page for "Gramps Media Manager" - Tool wizard - default]]
 
From the '''Selection''' page window select from one the four options the actions you want to take and then select the {{man button|Next}} button:
* {{man label|[[Gramps_6.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Tools#Replace_substrings_in_the_path|Replace substrings in the path]]}} (default)
* {{man label|[[Gramps_6.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Tools#Convert_paths_from_relative_to_absolute|Convert paths from relative to absolute]]}}
* {{man label|[[Gramps_6.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Tools#Convert_paths_from_absolute_to_relative|Convert paths from absolute to relative]]}}
* {{man label|[[Gramps_6.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Tools#Add_images_not_included_in_database|Add images not included in database]]}}
{{-}}
 
====Replace substrings in the path====
 
[[File:ReplaceSubstringSettings-page-MediaManager-default-50.png|right|thumb|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Replace substring settings - page for "Gramps Media Manager" - Tool wizard - default]]
 
This tool allows replacing specified substring in the path of media objects with another substring. This can be useful when you move your media files from one directory to another.
 
Selecting this radio button will bring up a {{man label|Replace substring settings}} window where you can type in any string in the {{man label|Replace}} text field and the {{man label|With}} text field. At any time you can click on the {{man button|Cancel}} button or the {{man button|Back}} button. Clicking the {{man button|Forward}} button will bring up the {{man label|Final confirmation}} window.
 
{{-}}
 
====Convert paths from relative to absolute====
 
[[File:ConvertPathsFromRelativeToAbsolute-FinalConfirmation-page-MediaManager-example-50.png|right|thumb|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} 'Convert paths from relative to absolute':"Final Confirmation" page for "Gramps Media Manager" - Tool wizard - example]]
 
This tool allows converting relative media paths to the absolute ones. It does this by prepending the {{man label|Base path for relative media paths:}} as given in the [[Gramps_6.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#General|Edit > Preferences > General ]] tab, or if that is not set, it prepends the default [[Gramps_6.0_Wiki_Manual_-_User_Directory|User's Directory]].

This tool allows converting absolute media paths to a relative path. The relative path is relative to the given base path in the setting {{man label|Base path for relative media paths:}} as from the [[Gramps_6.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#General|Edit > Preferences > General ]] tab, or if that is not set, the user's directory is used. A relative path allows to tie the file location to a base path that can change to your needs.

Check directories for images not included in database, this tool adds images in directories that are referenced by existing images in the database. You will have to import one media item from each sub directory manually. Media Manager does not include sub-directories automatically. All the directory paths shown in the tool will be searched through.
{{-}}
 
===<u>Not Related</u>===
 
[[File:NotRelatedTo-dialog-NotRelated-Tool-example-50.png|right|thumb|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}}. "Not related to '...'" - dialog - showing results for "Not Related" Tool]]
 
This tool will list people who are not connected to the selected active person. Connections may include linked in a chain of [[References|references]] or linkages created with the [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#Link_Editor|link editor in Notes]].
 
You can use this tool via menu {{man menu|Tools->Utilities->Not Related...}}.
 
You will get a {{man label|Not related to '...'}} results dialog which shows a list of all the people that are '''NOT''' related to the selected person.
 
This list gives you:
* ''Name''
* ''ID''
* ''Parents''
* ''Tags''
 
From the ''Name'' column you can use the {{man button|right arrow}} button and {{man button|down arrow}} buttons to collapse or expand the grouped ''Name'' list. Double clicking on a person will bring up the {{man label|person edit}} dialog or {{man label|family edit}} dialog.
 
If you select a person, you can use the {{man label|Tag}} text field (you can fill in whatever custom tag name you want to use) or use the drop down list to choose an existing tag eg TODO, NotRelated. Use the {{man button|Apply}} to add the selected tag to the person(s). This tag will then show up in the ''Tags'' column.
{{-}}
 
===<u>Relationship Calculator</u>===
 
[[File:RelationshipTo-dialog-RelationshipCalculator-Tool-example-50.png|right|thumb|450px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} "Relationship to '...' " - dialog - showing results for "Relationship Calculator" Tool]]
You can use this tool via menu {{man menu|Tools->Utilities->Relationship Calculator...}}.
 
Selecting the Relationship Calculator tool will open a list filtered to all people connected, '''but not necessarily related''', to the [[Gramps_Glossary#active_person|Active Person]]. To calculate relationship to different person, close the window, make that person Active and select the tool from the menu again.
 
Select the individual from the filtered list to report if a relationship exists. The exact relationship will be shown in the lower panel along the common ancesors of that's reported relationship. Only blood relationships will display (except for husband-wife relationships). Note "in-law" relationships are not displayed.
 
The filtered list will grouped and alphabetically sorted by surname. (Regardless of whether the View menu setting of the Person category has been set to '''Grouped'''.) The list columns cannot be re-sorted.
 
The degree of separation (generation distance) that will be recognized is controlled by the ''Max generations for relationships'' value in the [[Gramps_6.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#General|General]] tab under the {{man menu|Edit->Preferences...}} menu. (The default of 15 generations will report a 12th great-grandparent relationship but not their parents. The active person is counted as one of the generations.)
 
Essentially, any two people are directly related by blood if they have an ancestor in common. One of these individuals may actually be an ancestor of the other - such as a great grandparent. Even in the cases of aunts and uncles, you still can calculate the relationship by searching for the common ancestor. In this case, the father or mother of the aunt or uncle will be a grandparent to the nephew or niece.
 
The most basic blood relationship through common ancestors is that of siblings (brothers and sisters) who are only one generation down from the common ancestor. Another special relationship is that of one of those siblings to the descendants of the other siblings. If the Active Person is a grandchild of the common ancestor, the sibling would be an aunt or uncle. Beyond that generation of descendants, there are two equivalent ways of describing the relationship. The daughter of great grandparents might be called either a grandaunt or a great aunt. (The Relationship Calculator uses the 'grand' variant.) That person is a great grandaunt to the second great grandchildren, who are four generations distant from the common ancestor. (She may also be called a second great aunt.) The reverse reationship of an aunt or uncle is a nephew or niece.
 
Cousins (also called "first" cousins) are two generations down from the common ancestor through different siblings. "Second" cousins are thus, three generations down from the common ancestor - and so on.
 
After that, everyone is considered a "cousin", but to indicate that they are not in the same generation we use the word "removed" to indicate the number of generations different between the two. For example, my father's "first" cousin is also my "first" cousin but "once removed" (one generation difference between us). My fathers "first" cousin is my own child's "first cousin twice removed" - two generations different.
 
If multiple blood relationships exist due to pedigree Collapse, all will be reported.
 
A full text list of all blood relations and their spouses can be viewed using a [[Gramps 6.0 Wiki Manual - Reports - part 6#Kinship Report|Kinship Report]].

===<u>Verify the Data</u>===
 
[[File:VerifyTheData-DataVerifyTool-dialog-General-tab-defaults-50.png|right|thumb|400px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} "Verify the Data..." - "Data Verify tool" dialog - "General" tab - defaults]]
 
This utility allows you to verify the database based on the set of criteria specified by you.
 
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.
 
Select this via the menu {{man menu|Tools->Utilities->Verify the Data...}} you will get a {{man label|Data Verify Tool}} window. The window has four tabs; {{man label|General}}, {{man label|Women}}, {{man label|Men}}, {{man label|Families}}. Those tabs show a list with criteria and a input field where you can alter the criteria value. In the lists below I show some ''workable'' values.
 
====Verify the Data tab pages====
 
Select the criteria you want to run the tool with from the following tabs. If you are OK with the criteria click the {{man button|Run}} button (or hit {{man key press|Alt|R}} and you will be presented with a {{man label|[[Gramps_6.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Tools#Data_Verification_Results_window|Data Verification Results]]}} window.
 
Depending on your criteria and your data a list will be shown. Some possibilities of findings are listed below. But there are others.
 
* Disconnected individuals (ones with no parent or spouse or child or sibling)
* old/dead father
* marriage after death/ before birth
* large year span for all children
* early/late marriage
* young/unborn mother
* husband and wife with the same surname
* same sex marriage/ female husband
* ...
 
=====General=====
* {{man label|Maximum age}}: 90
* {{man label|Minimum age to marry}}: 17
* {{man label|Maximum age to marry}}: 50
* {{man label|Maximum number of spouses for a person}}: 3
* {{man label|Maximum number of consecutive years of widowhood before next marriage}}: 30
* {{man label|Maximum age for an unmarried person}}: 99
 
The first check box: {{man label|Estimate missing or inexact dates}} causes the tool to accept a baptism date if a birth date is not known, and to accept a burial date if a death date is not known. It also causes the tool to accept "inexact" dates (i.e., any "legal" Gramps date which is not a fully-specified one (with an explicit day and month and year)).
 
The second check box: {{man label|Identify invalid dates}} will check if the dates are invalid.
 
=====Women=====
* {{man label|Minimum age to bear a child}}: 17
* {{man label|Maximum age to bear a child}}: 48
* {{man label|Maximum number of children}}: 12
 
=====Men=====
* {{man label|Minimum age to father a child}}: 18
* {{man label|Maximum age to father a child}}: 65
* {{man label|Maximum number of children}}: 15
 
=====Families=====
* {{man label|Maximum husband-wife age difference}}: 30
* {{man label|Maximum number of years between children}}: 8
* {{man label|Maximum span of years for all children}}: 25

====Examples====
Two examples from using real data with this tool:
 
*:The warning showed 'female husband': checking the data I found a family with father : Anna Roelants. Luckily in the {{man label|Description}} I read: ''The marriage of Adam Roelants and Cornelia Crabbe''. It was clearly a typo: Anna i.s.o. Adam. Without this '''Tool''' it would be very hard to find.
 
*:The warning showed 'late marriage': checking the data: male person °1738 female person °1756 : marriage X 1804 [Gregorian Calendar] : Everything seemed to be OK: so they (re)married at the age of 66 and 48 years! The warning showed up because the '''General criteria''' was set to '''60'''.
