I am still trying to decide if I want to also start using that for missing surnames. Right now, if I don't have a Surname, I am leaving it blank. ______ would still sort to the beginning of the surnames on a name list.

For missing given names, I usually leave them blank. Lots of gedcoms use Unknown/Living. I remove the words and leave them blank... This works for me....

Sorry 'bout that, Tom, I've now changed from MS Comic to Arial. Hopefully that makes a difference. Speaking of hard to read fonts, though, I found this particularly hard to read:

I simply put in RootsMagic nothing as the surname. Then they sort to the top of the index list. I will also given them an alternate name fact with their married name.
