Hi Cathy, you are spot on with the thought that "Unknown" was added deliberately as a surname and deleting it has resolved that issue!
I feel a little silly for not spotting that, but in my defence I am just about to merge my main family file produced by me, with that of my sister-in-laws family file produced by her. The issue was in sister-in-laws file (honestly!) and a simple error to make. Many, many thanks for the help & apologies for not spotting it myself.

Has "unknown" disappeared from Family View for this person/these people? If you did save and Unknown hasn't disappeared then it wasn't added by Legacy. This does work in Legacy 7.5 If Unknown is still there, then someone has deliberately added Unknown as a Surname. If that's the case Unknown will show in the Master Surname list see View > Master Lists > Surname In the Master List you can see everyone who uses that "surname" and get a search list. The only way from within Legacy to correct this is to edit each person removing the surname. This is most easily done in the Search List - Edit tab Do think of moving to Legacy 8. C.E. Wood is overly critical, overlooking bugs in 7.5 and ignoring great new features in Legacy 8. Is Legacy 8 perfect and bug free - no - but neither is 7.5.
