Hi Jan, I use the color green for ? red for female and blue for male. I can easily see the unknown person entries because they are green and scattered through my index. It is not important but I would really like all entries to be in normal text and use color to distinguish them. If I don't know the sex of a child I always use ? I have over 60 DATA entries.
