Sherri - The way I have handle it when I have names (would work without names but I haven't faced that yet) is to enter a child to the grandparents whose first name is "Placeholder" and is of "?" sex, ie, neither male nor female. I then list all the grand children/great grandchildren as appropriate. That way I can continue to "see" them in a proper place, add data to them as I find it. When I can confirm their parents I just unlink from Placeholder and link to proper parents. When there are no more children under Placeholder, I just delete that one. Works for me.
