1) What is the best, standard, most efficient, etc. method of entering a wife
when the maiden name is unknown and there is little prospect of determining it?
I have varied between entering the husband's given name and entering a question
mark. Or can (should) the surname be left blank?
My method is..... Mary (wife of Robert Jones).........this way I can
tell which Mary belongs to which husband in the names list.
2) How should an unnamed child that died in infancy be entered? I want it recorded and
have entered the child with "Unnamed Son Of" as the first name and the surname
as the last name. Is there a better method?
As other users have suggested, .....Infant Jones........seems to work well.
3) I have entries for people as spouses whose parents are unknown. I want to
add siblings to those people but Legacy doesn't appear to allow the addition of
an individual without a parent. How can I get them in?
'Unknown' in the Given name box and assuming you have a surname for the
siblings then that can be entered for the father so he will be 'Unknown
Smith', the mother will have to be 'Unknown' as well without any
surname, unknown can also be entered into the marriage date. That way
the 'family' is created and you can enter the kids.
