But people who use the ? instead of M or F when they have a child of unknown gender (either because they don’t even have a name or because the name could be either) need the italics to indicate that the gender is unknown. If I suspect a child might in fact be a girl I enter a daughter, but

Let’s say on a census record a woman states she is the mother of 8 children with 6 children living. I add two “unknown” children but I just fill in the surname only. I put the birth/death dates between the date of the census and the last known date that I have (usually their marriage date) and

Hi Jan, I use the color green for ? red for female and blue for male. I can easily see the unknown person entries because they are green and scattered through my index. It is not important but I would really like all entries to be in normal text and use color to distinguish them. If I don't know

I either attach them as detail of a source if I have another image of the event to which they refer. But if I have no other image I attach them to the event itself. Remember that pdf files will not print in a report or a web page created in Legacy, they have to be opened within a pdf reader.

Either way, the recommendation stands. *Anything* in the data filed will preclude you from using the Missing Information search or inserting underlines for missing data. Are you adding these individuals as unlinked individuals? Have you thought about tagging them as uncertain where they fit?
