Good morning. I just made contact with a person who was on my family
finder results list from Canada. She indicated to me that one of
her ancestors, Emmanuel Graisse, may have been Portuguese. Have any of you
come across that surname in your research. I have not, but I told her I

I am trying to enter all of my newly discovered relatives into my genealogy

What is the best way to list individuals in the software when the last name
is unknown?

Deb BM,
I think the best way is to leave it blank.
Maria Antonia was known in her lifetime as Maria Antonia. She didn't have

As a rule, women and children were not given surnames. If Maria
Antonia did take a surname you should find it listed in her Obito;
otherwise, just go with what you have, and leave the surname blank. If
you're using a PAF database, use a double slash (//)
