If you don't know the father's name you can also type . for first name, . for last name and type the mother's full name. This is helpful if the father's name was not recorded.

When using the LDS search for children born to the same parents (example: children of John and Mary Smith) and you don't get results you are hoping for -- you can do a search with just the father's name. Type John Smith for the father and . for the mother's first name. I've found additional births this way. website: http://www.familysearch(.)org/ (remove ( ) first)
