Is there a way to enter date of birth and/or death as a range?
I know I can approximate ( i . e ~ 1880 ), but what if I want to , and can be , more specific ( i . e . 1878 - 1881 )? Or what if the range is a lot larger ( i . e . 1860 - 1900 ) making a ~[ date ] misleading ? Does Genopro have functionality for this ?

You can put any text you like into a Date field but if not recognised as a date format it will not be used in any calculation e.g. for age.
GenoPro adds a pink background to the field to indicate unrecognised date format but still stores it

Oh, thanks! I saw the box go red and assumed it wouldn't accept the entry.
Two follow - up questions though ... 1 . Is there a way to prevent it from converting to date format ? ( Say I want to enter " 1880 - 1 ", just because it ' s more compact than " 1880 - 1881 " or even " 1880 - 81 ". I keeps changing to " 01 / 1881 " though .) 2. How to make the "Date of Birth and Date of Death (on separate lines)" display work with a red-boxed date entry. (If I enter DoB "1880-81" and DoD "1920", I get a single-line display of "D. 1920")

1. "1880-1" Just will not work, no matter what you try. "1880-81" will work, however.
2. The only way I can get it to work is if you include the dates of birth/death in the Comments section, and click to display comments. If it's separated on different lines, it'll show then.
