For 1, I enter the husband's surname with double brackets as the wife's
surname, so it doesn't appear on a gedcom or report, but it's easier for me
to find.
For 3, I enter the surname of a male sibling as the surname of the father.
You have your choice of leaving the given name blank or unknown. For
example, my 2nd great-grandfather is Eli Sheldon and I have the names of 7
siblings. Their father is unknown Sheldon. Even the Sheldon Family
Association doesn't know his name!

I have just started using Legacy and have three questions on its usage.
1) What is the best, standard, most efficient, etc. method of entering a
wife when the maiden name is unknown and there is little prospect of
determining it? I have varied between entering the husband's given name
and entering a question mark. Or can (should) the surname be left blank?
2) How should an unnamed child that died in infancy be entered? I want it
recorded and have entered the child with "Unnamed Son Of" as the first
name and the surname as the last name. Is there a better method?
3) I have entries for people as spouses whose parents are unknown. I want
to add siblings to those people but Legacy doesn't appear to allow the
addition of an individual without a parent. How can I get them in?
Thank you.
