Hi Cathy Thanks - you are right, I need to delete these people as they all have RIN numbers. The ones that are blank have no RIN number.

If you entered it, you can search for it as you search for any given name. Also, if you want to get rid of Unknown as an entered, you can get a list of people using it by going to the Master Surname List, find it, highlight and click Show List. I think you'll need to delete these people to get back to a completely blank unknown spouse. Legacy won't let you save a person without a name. With patience you can get there. However, others prefer to have "unknown" written throughout their file. Again, it's a matter of personal choice.
