    If it says c/o Antonio & Iris, that's not the child's name so you would Blank the child's name. If it doesn't say anywhere that those are the parents', then we wouldn't put them as the parents either. To give an accurate answer, though, we really need to see your image. To share your image so that we can see it, give us the numbers/letters in brackets that's after the project name at the top of the indexing page. (It will look similar to this: [M3RG-BY1])

    @barbaragailsmith1 is correct, we need the batch # to be sure, but in general for still born births, you can use a father's surname as the child's, or the mother's if the father's isn't there. Mark the given name blank. Don't assume anything, as with 'c/o' being the parents.

    thanks, that is helpful. My batch record doesn't ask for any other relationships, just given and last name. I will blank given and put only last name which has last name with notation of S/B for still birth. Sorry unable to share image at this time. It is a cemetery record and they noted parents' names in place of the child's first name.
