      Description: GRAMPS is a genealogy program

      Long Description: GRAMPS is a genealogy program to store, edit, and research genealogical data. It provides advanced capabilities for research, analysis, and correlation to potentially fill relationship gaps. NOTE 1: Some users have experienced problems importing databases from Gramp version 2. It is advised that databases are exported from Gramps version 2 in Gramps XML format before updating to Gramps version 3. The Gramps XML export from version 2 can then be imported into gramps 3 if the automatic database upgrade does not work. NOTE 2: The WriteCD plugin is unavailable. This relies on GNOME and has not been made to work on OS X.
