Pete FYI I have several instances like that with one known parent who later marries someone else. I agree that leaving the missing parent blank is the way to go. Just be careful when the first parent joins a later partnership or marriage that the child is not included in that arrangement. I deleted all my "unknown" entries since it confused some of my searches and the merge duplicate function. As Mary suggested, you can always add the missing parent if the information is discovered.
