[Gramps-users] Unknown or no surname

[J. A. C. <sof...@cr...>]

I'm interested in how other Gramps users handle surnames for people with 
no surname or for whom the surname is unknown.

I've been following the practice in the data I was given as a starting 
point several years ago when I began working on genealogy, which is to 
use "?" for the surname for people that the surname is unknown (usually 
women whose maiden names are unknown) and leaving the surname blank when 
there is no surname (mostly European royalty).

The only problem this has caused me is that when I generate a Narrated 
Web Site, the only way to access data for people with no surnames is 
from the Individuals page (which takes a long time to load because there 
are over 35,000 people in my database) or from other pages that have 
links to them.

Thanks,
