Hello Natalie - We are working hard to reduce the number of “Unbekannt” profiles on Wikitree. The standard usage on Wikitree is "Unknown"; see details below to clarify why this is important. The profile https://https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Unbekannt-90 for Eva (Unbekannt) Behr is an example.
When profiles have the surname "Unknown," they will show up in searches along with the married name. But when profiles have the surname "Unbekannt," they will not show up in searches along with the married name. In other words, if you have “Eva (Unknown) Behr,” and you search for “Eva Behr,” profiles for “Elsa Unknown" will also be included in the search. But profiles for “Eva Behr” will not be included.
I have checked for sources and not been able to find her last name at birth (LNAB). And if you have learned the LNAB please add it to the profile. I’m happy to work with you to find and update! Just let me know! (I have added her married name to the profile.)
We would really appreciate this contribution to our collaborative WikiTree. If we can’t find the profile, we can’t work together to improve it!
