I've been spending the last couple of days cleaning up my database and have come across several different entries that mean the same. Every one seems to have a different way of listing those whom they don't have the proper name. When I receive information in GEDCOM, I try to go through and make it uniform. I would like to know what the proper way to list "Unknowns" is. Maybe this will help others also. Examples below: Girl West Boy West Unknown West //West ? West Unknown Mary Unknown Mary Mary// Any suggestions would be appreciated. :-) Linda Whittaker Knott [email protected] http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/5868 WHITTAKER,LOVE,WEST,CHAPIN,MALOTT COMSTOCK,ELLIS,FERGUSON KNOTT,GOODWIN,AVERY CLARK,EVANS,MOCK,ROCHFORD,ALVEY
