    .

    FYI

    .

    (1) "Vitals" Section"; Field of "Name"; Leave the "First Names", "Blank"

    ...... In other words, do not add anything, nothing - ie. NO "Given" Name(s).

    (2) "Other Information" Section; "Events"; Select the "+ Stillborn" Event.

    ...... Add, both, a 'Date'; and, a 'Place'; plus, a "Reason Statement".

    .

    Here is a "knowledge article" in 'FamilySearch':

    .

    How do I add stillborn or miscarried infants in Family Tree?

    I hope this helps.
