To add to Michele's comment.... If you leave any unknown information blank,you can take advantage of the Search tab "Missing Information" and show underlines for missing information in Ancestor and Descendant books.
Also, if you share FGR or other reports with other family members, if the field is blank it quickly catches their eye and they have a place to help update the information you're missing. If anything is entered in a field, it won't be found as "Missing" in the Missing Information search. Legacy is looking for an empty field.
