[[File:EditPerson-top-sections-highlighted-example-50.png|right|thumb|400px|Fig. {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} "Multiple Surnames" section (Highlighted in Blue) of the "Edit Person" - dialog - example]]
When {{man label|Edit Persons Person}}s add {{man button|+ Use Multiple Surnames}} add button has been pressed, a new {{man label|Multiple Surnames}} section entry box will be shown, allowing compound surnames to be entered.
The Multiple Surnames feature might be used for patronymics or compound matrilineal-patrilinial names. Another variation would be a Scandinavian name like ‘Syver Ericksen Skotterud’ where the full name is composed of a forename (Syver), a reference to his father (Ericksen or son of Erick) together with a village or locality name. In such a case, you can add 'Ericksen' with an [[Names_in_Gramps#Origin_Attributes|Origin]] of "Patronymic" and expand to a Multiple Surnames by adding 'Skotterud' with an Origin of "Location".
:The {{man label|Addresses}} tab lets you view and record the various mailing addresses of the person. You are advised to use a residence event to store information of residency of a person. The address tab is offered mainly for compatibility with the GEDCOM standard where the rationale of addresses is mailing only.
:The bottom part of the window lists all addresses stored for that person in the database. The top part shows the details of the currently selected address in the list (if any). The buttons {{man button|+}} , {{man button|Edit}} , and {{man button|-}} allow you to correspondingly add, modify, and remove an address record from the database. Note that the {{man button|Edit}} and {{man button|-}} buttons become available only when an address is selected from the list.::If you edit an address the [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_Editing_Data_Entering_and_editing_data:_Detailed__detailed_-_part_3#Addresses|Address Editor]] opens.
:Some reports allow you to restrict data on living people. In particular, that option will omit their addresses.
The button {{man button|+ Create and add a new association}} opens the {{man label|[[#Person_Reference_Editor|Person Reference Editor]]}} dialog to add. The {{man button|Edit the selected association}} button allows you to edit and the {{man button|- Remove the existing association}} removes the selected association. The other buttons {{man button|^ Move the selected association upwards}} or {{man button|^ Move the selected association downwards}} move the selected entry position in the list only.

Besides exact dates, Gramps recognizes many date types that are not regular: before, after, about, ranges and spans. It also understands the quality: estimated or calculated. Finally, it supports partial dates and many alternative calendars. Below is the list of date entry rules to allow precise date parsing.
{{man note|1=Date parsing rules |2=The list only applies to the English version of Gramps. If you are using localized version of Gramps, your version may or may not provide a localized date parser. A list of the 28 (as of this writing in 2015) available localized parsers can be found on the [[Handler List]] some existing Date Handlers are available for French, German, Russian, Finnish, Dutch, Spanish, Slovak and Swedish languages.<br>If the localized parser is available for your version, chances are that other rules are in effect. If there is no manual in your language yet, you may try following your instincts and try the common ways of denoting dates in your language. If all else fails, use the {{man label|Date selection}} dialog described above. The date that the dialog generates will show how the localized parser expects the different Date Quality and Type values to be typed.}}
Regular single dates can be entered just as you would write them. And typing a slash after the year followed by a value 1 year later creates a Julian dual dated entry.
