Answer

The membership side of the database is comprised of individuals (persons) placed into a family record. Everyone belongs to a family which is also the giving unit for the financial side of the database.

Person Records store:
The majority of person attributes are managed through the person editor, attributes such as groups, volunteer opps, properties, and individual photo are manipulated through the person viewer.

Family records store:
The majority of family attributes are managed through the family editor, attributes such as photo and family properties are manipulated through the family viewer.

Note: When adding new people it is easier to use the "Add New Family" available from the People / Families menu. This easily allows the creation of the family and person records. See illustration below which depicts the person additions possible using the "Add New Family" function available from People / Families menu. This dialog allows the creation of up to 6 person records. Additional records are possible to add using the add new person dialog.
