Logic and programming are not /necessarily/ the same thing. I'd like to be able to add children without having to enter the surname of a mother or father, such as when foundlings who are also siblings end up with different surnames but the biological parents are unknown so the birth surname is unknown. If I do have known siblings but no parents names, rather than add a father as Michele suggested, I'd add a mother because there's a 50/50 chance the children could have been illegitimate. I'd also be more likely to add an honorific in the given name field and the surname in brackets as I do where I don't know the maiden name of a wife.
