Allows you to {{man label|Enter your information so people can contact you when you distribute your Family Tree}} in the corresponding text entry fields. Although Gramps requests information about you, this information is used only so that Gramps can create valid GEDCOM output files. A valid GEDCOM file requires information about the file's creator. If you choose, you may leave the information empty, however none of your exported GEDCOM files will be valid.
The available text entry fields are (all blank by default all blank):
*{{man label|Name:}}
*{{man label|Address:}}
