Slawson) is to leave the field blank if you don't have the data. That, however, is unacceptable to many (most?) researchers so everyone seems to develop their own method--and none of these are universally accepted. The only thing that is strongly discouraged is the use of abbreviations such as Unk, LNU, NMI (Unknown, Last Name Unknown, No Middle Initial) etc. Kirsten Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
