I am a member of the just leave it blank school. I only enter the
surname in those cases.
Although I work for Millennia those are my personal standards not a

Jane,
I am also of the leave it blank brigade. However, I rarely have a father
without knowing his given name. If I have siblings with no known parents, I
will usually create a father with their surname and no given name, but then I

she was, but that just didn't look right in reports... didn't make it obvious
that I still needed to determine her name. Specifically, I do not enter the
