Amy, I agree with you that it will go through and that it may have been instruction that was given in the past. Not sure if you saw the email I posted about an hour ago. The User's Guide to NFS, (May 2009), on page 154 addresses when a first name if not known. It says that if you do not know the mother's first name, enter Mrs. plus her husband's last name or family name. For a child who died before being named, enter Son or Daughter plus the father's last name or family name. Using Son or Daughter does make it more specific, in my opinion, than using Miss and Mr. It also tells the relationship in a simple way that is easy to see.

I have seen this happen a few times. I haven't done it in nFS but some of the cards I have seen came from the Temple. As Carrie stated, as long ass the sex of the child, the parents and the dates are identified, it should go through.
