Can I import a GEDCOM file into GRAMPS?
Thanks.

Yes. But most applications generate a dialect of GEDCOM rather than being fully compliant with the 5.5.1 standard.

There is a wiki page about importing GEDCOM and dealing with various dialect idiosyncrasies from some of the more common genealogy applications.

Welcome!

Yes, you can import a GEDCOM file.

Open Gramps and if you have not already created a database file, go to the menu >> Family Trees >> Manage Family Trees.

Here you can create your database, rename it to something meaningful to you, then Load family Tree. If you have already created a database, you can select it and load the tree/database.

Now you can import the GEDCOM file.

Go to menu >> Family Trees >> Import.

You can navigate the file selector to the GEDCOM file, select it, then Import.
