This comment: "However, whatever you select, it will be for current entries and from then on. It will not go back and mark the "unknowns" to "blank" and the same for the alternative."
It would seem that most would like all their records to show one or the other, not some unknown and some blank. That is what would happen if the above comment is true. Is it? If so, then I think an option to go back and change all to either unknown or blank would be in order. Next question: If I have typed in "unknown" for a surname can these be distinguished from the Legacy generated unknowns? Thanks in advance for the info.
