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".

In the various views (such as the {{man label|Person View}}), unrecognized dates will be displayed in '''bold''' by default. The text markup (formatting style) for unrecognized dates can be modified by changing the {{man label|Markup for invalid date format:}} option in the [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Dates|{{man label|Dates}} tab]] of [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings|Preferences]].
 
When a Birth or Death date is missing for a Person, the dates of existing fallback Events in the same category may be shown (and indicated with italics with an abbreviated title) rather leaving the display blank. So, a Burial or Cremation date will be shown if a Death date has not yet been recorded.

*Regular: A "regular" date is one which includes an interval spanning a specific day, month, or year. It can be complete (or 'fully qualified' for a 24 hour interval like June 6, 1990) or partial (like omitting the day for a 1 month interval like July 1977 or omitting the day and month for a 1 year interval).
*Before: A "before" (date is one that can only be identified as occurring (in a [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Dates|preferences-defined long interval]]) prior to a certain day, month, or year.''(By default, the interval is 50 years.)''
*After: An "after" date is one that occurs (in a [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Dates|2nd preferences-defined long interval]]) following a certain day, month, or year. ''(By default, the interval is 50 years.)''
*About: An "about" (circa) date is one that occurs (in [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Dates|yet another preferences-defined smaller ±years interval]]) before '''or''' after a certain day, month, or year. ''(By default, the interval is ±50 years.)''
*Range: A "range" describes a time period during in which the event occurred. It could be recurrent event during the interval or a single instance believed to have occurred between known boundary dates.
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.
Sometimes, a dual date may appear as a fraction, as in this grave stone (170 and 3/4, which means 1703 and 1704):
[[Image:Gravestone.jpg|right|thumb|350px|Fig . {{#var:chapter}}.{{#vardefineecho:figure|{{#expr:{{#var:figure}}+1}}}} Gravestone showing
dual date as a fraction (170 and 3/4, which means 1703 and 1704)]]
