No, I haven't noticed that, primarily because this is the only place they
appear. There are obviously not going to be an descendants of this person
(or at least known descendants).

I guess that's the best I can hope for. By changing the name to "an
infant" I get

i. An infant was born in 1774.

Which is better than "Infant."

Can I globally change names? Or do I have to generate a picklist for each
of these unnamed children and change them by hand?
