This topic should be the one here all topics gramps are linked. In My Opinion.

Is there a means of copying or transferring a familytree from Rootsmagic [installed in WinXP, and the Windows program run using Puppy->WINE] to a Gramps installed [or run using an SFS] in a Puppy?

I Dont't know, but i would say 'yes, you can'. Create a new tree, then import files.
What i am sure, you can import trees fulfilled with different Puppies or Linux OS. About Windows please feed back success or not.

G'day,

I think Roots Magic can export a text GEDCOM file of your basic genealogical data. Gedcoms can miss some program-particular details but I've found the essentials generally get copied.

So why not try the export from RM (say, to a USB thumb drive) and then import the gedcom file into Gramps from the same thumb drive?

I did this when trying Gramps - I use Legacy as my main genealogy program.

Version Windows installed, fully intercheangeable with versions Linux.
Remember howerver ; a newer version will refuse gkpg from older Gramps.

tutorial clipboard very useful
"This is a good video for someone who got his hands on the program. I am starting new and honestly, I don't find it user friendly. I am going through documentation but still not that easy."

Dpup Stretch and Artfulpup : Gramps refused to run
Ok With OBPrecise - 15.01
Some applications are very popular, genealogy database is necessary for me.

solved with Artfulpup, python 2.6 was needed

Hi All,

Searching for Gramps applications, I found Gramps 3.2.0-1.AppImage here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/portable/files/. This appears to be a 32-bit version, circa 2010. But it seems to be functional OOTB on Xenialpup64 with 32-bit libs loaded.

LP2_Gramps-3.4.1.sfs: 13 M
provided by Lazy Puppy RSH does enough to spend time searching your origins.. Gramps is only the recording tool, the data base to fulfill. I have the chance to be born in the area where they destroyed all archives about christians.. Its very hard to go before 1789. And docs written with feathers are quite unserviceable for us.
No need to spend your time if nobody ask for new versions. Often new versions need libs that are not available . If RHS version does not work, just install the old Python. The older, not the newer.
I use an SFS done by ASRI Education including french translation. He dit it for students and even teachers when Puppy Precise 5.7.3 was installed in a dozen of schools in France.
