Re: [LegacyUG] Name Question

2022-06-14 Thread Brian Kelly 
I come firmly down on the side of those who leave unknown names blank 
for all given names. For a surname I will use the surname of the child 
for a father with an unknown name. If I only have a given name for a 
wife I will leave the surname blank. If I have no details on a wife I 
will just not enter anything, Legacy will assign RIN 0 to the unknown 
wife as a space holder until I enter some information at which time she 
will get a real non-zero RIN.

Personally, I just leave then blank and only use Unknown for an unknown 
parent where the other one is known, while Legacy sets as a default.

For an unknown first name I use [[unknown]].  This way I can see
  at a glance that I need to do further research for a first name
  and this reminder does not appear in any report.
For an unknown maiden name for a married woman I use [[husband's
  surname]] for the same reasons.

Bonjour,

You can have a look at this article:

https://news.legacyfamilytree.com/legacy_news/2017/12/tuesdays-tip-the-unknownnametxt-file-intermediate.html
[https://news.legacyfamilytree.com/.a/6a00d8341d219b53ef01b8d2c455e0970c-600wi]
Tuesday's Tip - The UnknownName.txt File 
(Advanced)
You will create this file using any text editor (Windows Notepad is ideal). 
This text file will have only two lines. The first line is for the given names 
you want Legacy to ignore and the second line is for the surnames. If you have 
more than one given name or surname you need to separate them with a space.

Have a good day,

I often simply leave it blank. I assume that you mean when you have one 
of the first/last names and not the other. If I have neither name, then 
sometimes I put in a descriptive phrase for the name, such as [second 
wife] or [mother of Jane Doe].
