Place database used by GRAMPS

If you want to use your own database, you don't care of licence to use, but what about to re-use existing databases ? See Copyrights.

To create our place database

Why not creating our own place database ? Users sharing their place informations. It is possible on GRAMPS 3.0.1 and later :

  1. Go on place View
  2. Edit menu -> Column editor
  3. Check Place Name, Zip, City, County, Country, Latitude, Longitude, Church Parish columns
  4. go on Family Trees menu -> Export View ...
