This brings up a question (why do I always think of possible exceptions?): if the twins who died almost immediately at birth and were unnamed were both of the same gender, it will look like duplicate entries, when in actual fact they WERE twins. Would it be appropriate to put in "twin A" or "twin B" somewhere in the record so that the Temple and other researchers (and even ourselves several years later) don't come along and combine the records thinking they were only one person? I have a relative that had triplets who died at birth, and we have found no record as to them having received names, though at this point they're on hold because I can't even find gender identification, since the Mom was not living in town or near her church at the time of the event.

I was helping a friend learn to sync with RootsMagic 4 last week and she had twins that were in NFS as Mr. and Miss and we were able to sync and search fine. Thanks for bringing that to our attention.

Please don't put "unnamed child" in to get around the system - the system will accept "Mr." or "Miss". When we see "unnamed child" at our Temple, we put a note on the cards for the patron the speak with the Recorder. Just last night I found the death certificate of a baby who lived 5 hours. She was unnamed, and the system took her as "Miss Cardstensen" just fine, so it does work and is appropriate.
