Default is there a way to repeat content of cell from last row from previous page?

I have a table that slits across multiple pages. The table is a simple
grid with header rows.
In firts column there is a group identifier that is nonblank only if
row is first in group (see below)
--------------------------------------------------
Parent Name Children Names
--------------------------------------------------
Mary Anne
Betty
John Mark
Peter John
Paul
Amy

If table goes to next page, and break occurs in the middle of group, I
want Parent name to appear:

--------------------------------------------------
Parent Name Children Names
--------------------------------------------------
Mary Anne
Betty
John Mark
Peter John
Paul
____ page break _____

--------------------------------------------------
Parent Name Children Names
--------------------------------------------------
Peter Amy

(Page breaks are automatic)

Is there a way to do this? I thought to use somethign as follows:
whenever Parent Name changes, I insert an incremental bookmark to the
parent name (bk1, bk2, ...). and the SEQ field that increments by one
whenever parent name changes
Then I would add a line to header row that has a REF field in first
column, and the bookmark name for this REF field would be bk+value of
SEQ field. Is this possible? I tried
{REF bk{={SEQ xx}}} but this generates "Error!Reference not found"...

Thanks in advance for any advice
