    1. [BK] how to add a sibling without parents?
    2. J. P. Gilliver (John) via
    3. From a draft "Pier 53" tag which a cousin is preparing: "James married Mattie Furlong in 1896 in Allegheny County. Back in 1891, James' older sister Mary had married James Furlong, Mattie's brother." So I've added Mattie and James Furlong, but I don't have their parents. How do I indicate that they're siblings? A possible way would be to add a parent, just entering the name as "Unknown" or "? ?". This is what I'll do for now - is there a John Steed preferred format for the name? (I have the feeling that "Unknown" has had some significance in the past.) [Actually, thinking about it, I could probably add the father as "? Furlong", but the general question remains. And that doesn't _have_ to be the case anyway: they could both be illegitimate children of a female "? Furlong".] -- J. P. Gilliver.

I suppose it's true to life. But so is diarrhoea - and I don't want to see that on television. - Patrick Moore, in Radio Times 12-18 May 2007.
