I agree Tom, with the exception of the instance of where the child's
surname is known, in that case I simply put it (the surname) in the
appropriate place for the father and change it if I ever come upon the
correct one.
I don't think there /has/ to be a marriage record at all.
It works well for me at least.

I am new to legacy but I have for sometime used the technique of
entering an unknown female spouse as"LNAME". In other words, I place
quotation marks around the known last name of the husband. If I later
learn the correct maiden name I just replace it. For males where I do
not know a first name I generally leave it blank and then later
correct it when i get the information.
Hope this may help others.

For a long time, because of several strong indications, I was
reasonably sure
that Susanna Schommer was a sister to my g-grandmother, Maria
Schommer. Now I
finally have proof of that. When I went to enter a sibling for
Maria, I
recieved a message saying that siblings cannot be entered
without first
having a parent.
I have no information whatsoever as to what their parents'
names were, so in
my mind, not entering a sibling would be a sin. She needs to
be there so
someone other than myself could have a shot of finding
something I couldn't
yet find. So I entered a mother with the given name of "Not",
and the surname
of "Known". The sibling was then added successfully. Has
anyone else had this
problem, and if so, how did you handle it?
In a past existence (Legacy 7.5) it was possible, with a
parent-less person on
show in the Family tab, to double-click on the empty parents and
have the
program 'create' blank parents. You could then add a sibling to
the original,
parent-less person. No parents were actually created. This no
longer seems to
work under version 8.0
