I'm gradually learning my way into Gramps 3.0.2-1 having installed it under LinuxMint 5 which is based on Ubuntu Hardy - it isn't yet in the Mint repository but appears to be working OK. I have successfully imported the Gedcom from the Family Tree Maker 2006 software where my family tree was created. Entering the new wife of one of my grandsons: I have added her as a spouse, entered Marriage with date & place in both of their personal pages, but she appears on his Relationship page as Spouse: Relationship type unknown. The same comment appears if I select her as the Active Person in the Relationship view. I can't find any reference to this in either the 3.0 or the 2.9 Manuals: please help! A little later - I have now discovered the Edit Relationship facility in the Relationship column of People view, so I have been able to correct that. 1: Why isn't it in the Manual? 2: Why wasn't it the automatic result of Marriage? 3: What should I enter as Source for information which I personally experience? I was there for the marriage. 4: What sort of entry is required for Description of the Marriage event - or is this mainly for other event types? Much of the material in this mailing list is "above my head" - any chance of a forum? Yours hopefully, Theo Tulley. tj....@ph...
