Hi Susan
I have dealt with this problem by linking Mary to a person called "an
unknown man" (First name "an unknown" Surname "man" - no quotation marks -
and NO capital letters.) The report then reads "Mary had a child with an
unknown man. They had one child, George." I make sure the child has Mary's
surname - not man. I only do this when I know it really is a case of
identity unknown, or identity not being disclosed. The 'They' is not really
ideal, but I can wear that, because it really was a "They" even if "He" is
unidentified. Just thinking about it - you could also call the father "an
unidentified" "man".
Cheers
Jan

Subject: [LegacyUG] Unmarried mother
Hi Group, I hope some might be able to help with the wording for an
unmarried mother, in recent times.
Mary Smith had a daughter. Father not known. I have marked Mary as
unmarried, but when I print out a Book Report - Descendant Narrative it
reads
Mary had a child. They had one daughter Ann
Can I get it to read She had a daughter
Many thanks
Susan
