I suggest that a routine be run:

1.     To search for Unknown [Martha].

2.      To replace First name with [Martha].

3.      To replace LNAB with Unknown.

4.      If he is male, to replace CLN with Unknown.  If not and  she is/was married, eg to Edmund Jablonski, to replace CLN with Jablonski.  If she was not married, to replace it with Unknown.

5.    Save profile.

6.     Next to profile.

  • Replace CLN with Unknown.
