Here are the Kent "orphans" - people with the surname KENT whose parents have not yet been identified. One important convention I use that you should know about - in cases where a married woman's maiden name is unknown, I use the surname of the earliest identified spouse followed by an asterisk. I use this method in the database rather than using somthing like "unknown," "unk," "___," "??" or some of the other things people use because when you sort on a name field, the women who married KENT sort with the KENTs instead of with all the other women without known maiden names. Another couple of conventions I use: for infants who died young and who were never named or the name was not recorded, I use "unnamed" as the given name. For adults who have names but the name is not known to me, I use "(unknown)." In cases where a given name was a common familiar form for another name, I use the formal name as the first name and familiar name in quotes. I do this in almost all cases of individuals born before 1800 and usually before 1850 even when only the familiar form is known. Again, I do this as a database convention in helping to identify some orphans - so that Betty, Betsey, Eliza, Elisabeth, Elizabeth. Bettie, and Betsy all sort as the same name. I will gladly send a group sheet for the first generation or two of any of these orphans to anyone who requests them. Help me find parents for these folks! This is a comma delimited file. Each comma represents a different field.
