Make it easier to find slaves in records

I am currently reviewing a batch from Puerto Rico that includes many slaves. Unfortunately, these records include no surname or family members for the individual (only the slave owner)--so basically all we are left with is the first name and a date. I have come across a similar problem with previous records from South America and even from Spain. Would you consider adding a field for the slave owner in areas/times when slavery occurred? This might make it easier for the descendants of these individuals to located their enslaved ancestor. Thank you! -Lindsey Reeves
