I do the same thing that Terry does, and I call the fake child (no children) so it will more or less make sense in case I ever forget to edit it out of the report. Of course, giving all the fake children the same name makes them easier to search for and delete. Whether the childless child appears in birth order or immediately after the parents depends on the birthdate you give to the child. If you don't have an actual date you can always use a sort date.

Am very happy to begin learning SS right now if that is recommended. Ann, TMG's Journal only provides a separate section for people who have children. So to get a childless person to appear in his or her own section you have to attach a child, which you then edit out with a word processor. Second Site doesn't have that issue. Each person gets their own section or page, regardless of whether or not they have children. My solution is to add "Fake Child" to such people so they get their own section in a Journal, but make the child living so it doesn't appear in my site created with Second Site.
