But people who use the ? instead of M or F when they have a child of unknown gender (either because they don’t even have a name or because the name could be either) need the italics to indicate that the gender is unknown. If I suspect a child might in fact be a girl I enter a daughter, but select ? so I get a red (in my case, I think that’s the default colour) child in italics, and if I suspect the child is male I enter a son, with ?. If I’m not sure I usually enter a son. In your case I would think that the use of the word DATA would identify that the person / place / ship etc. is not a definite person in your tree and they would all sort together in your index as you say and you wouldn’t have lots of italic entries to skim down.

I would really like to have that option. I use the ? slot for my data that I can't yet relate to a particular person or for things like ships This way it does not interfere with my index because it is all together e.g. DATA Family name -Country abbreviation- State abbreviation DATA Town- State or County Country (for towns where I have many families) DATA Ships Name of Ship I find italics particularly hard to skim down and it doesn't achieve much purpose if you have color to highlight those individuals where the sex is unknown.
