*Date format: This option controls the display of dates. Several different formats are available, which may be dependent on your locale.
*Surname Guessing: This option affects the initial family name of a child when he/she is added to the database.
{{man tip| 1=Tip |2=This option only affects the initial family name guessed by GRAMPS when the '''{{man label|Edit Person''' }} dialog is launched.
You can modify that name the way you see fit. Set this option to the value that you will most frequently use, as it will save you a lot of typing.}}
If {{man label|None}} is selected, no guessing will be attempted. Selecting {{man label|Father's surname}} will use the family name of the father. Selecting {{man label|Combination of mother's and father's surname}} will use the father's name followed by the mother's name. Finally, {{man label|Icelandic style}} will use the father's given name followed by the "sson" suffix (e.g. the son of Edwin will be guessed as Edwinsson).
