If I know the son is John Doe, I assume the father's last name is Doe. So I enter his last name, but leave the first name blank. Will that work for you?
OTOH, if the person is a daughter, and I don't know if I have the daughter's maiden name or married name, I just put in "father name unknown." When I discover his name, I change it. Thanks.
