<<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.>>

With females, when I don't know their maiden names, I use their married
surname, but in parentheses.  Ex:  Jane (DOE)

This way, even if I have several "Janes" that I don't have maiden names
for, on a name list I can connect this one with the right family.  

With men, more often I know their surname, but sometimes not their first
name -- and I don't really have a good system for that -- I just list
their first name as "Unknown" along with their correct surname.  Ex:
Unknown DOE

I'll be interested in hearing what solutions others have come up with!
