I always use common nicknames like Sonny, or Butch, or Junior. There are more
of these for men than women. For a female I might use Sissy. Certainly these

Jane,
I am also of the leave it blank brigade. However, I rarely have a father
without knowing his given name. If I have siblings with no known parents, I
will usually create a father with their surname and no given name, but then I

I agree! Which is one of the reasons why I have always put Mr, Miss etc, in the

We had a lot of discussion about Subsequent Citations a while back. I think

I do something very similar to what James does. When you are going
through a list and you see a bunch of Sallys, blanks or unknowns, it
does not lend itself well to giving you any idea how the person is
