If I remember, some years ago, someone suggested to use [--?--], and almost 
everybody at that time supported that suggestion.

Objet : Re: [LegacyUG] Identification of "UnKnown" name

 

Everyone's going to have their own idea on this... I leave any unknown info 
blank. 

Why??

 

1. Legacy's Missing Information tab in the Search window won't find it as 
missing information if you have anything in that data field

2. Insert Underlines for Missing..... in book reports won't insert underlines 
if there's anything in the field.

If you want to enter any data in a field that you're not sure of, I would 
strongly recommend making a To-Do to search out the correct information.

I am a little confused on how to properly identify a missing portion of a Name. 
 I have numerous entries were the current person’s name partially known.  Is 
there a accepted identifier that can be used to signify “UNKNOWN”?  I currently 
use “Unknown” for either portion of the name.
