I also have several people missing family names. They all have blank 
family names, and appear at the top in the persons view. Most do have 
names from their fathers, but no family name.

As all my persons in this category have the same family name (the empty 
string, ""), I have them all appearing in one category, and I do not 
find that annoying, as I have no suggestion where they should be placed 
instead.

If they have different family names, and thus appear as different names 
in the person view, I suggest they be given blank names so that they 
only use one category.

Apart from that I can not help.
