For a wife with an unknown last name, I insert the married name in parentheses. That is, if John Smith has a wife Jane and Jane's surname is unknown, I call her Jane (Smith).

Subject: [LegacyUG] Spouse last name unknown- how do some of you handle it?



I have received a plot out that appears to fit my family so far. There is
one problem- the author of this plot-out sometimes used only the first name
as a person's last name when he did not know the last name. I assume he did
this to avoid having a lot of "Unknown" for the last name. If there are a
lot, after a certain point, it does get confusing.


How do some of you enter people with unknown names in such a fashion that
the word "Unknown" is hardly ever used? Anyone have a strategy for this? I'd
love to be able to see a last name, be able to see that it means "unknown"
and to whom it applies in most cases.


Feel free to write me directly.

Thank you.

Robert Carneal
