Can Pind Daan be performed for a person whose death date (tithi) is not known?

Yes. When the tithi of death is unknown, the rite should be performed on Sarva Pitru Amavasya — the last day of Pitrupaksha — which is specifically designated for all ancestors whose dates are unknown or uncertain. The pandit will adjust the sankalpa accordingly.
