database - How do you fetch all documents (including non-existent ancestor documents) in a Firebase collection?

Question

I am trying to pull all the documents in the collection 'users', but it only pulls 'fred' and 'lisa', and ignores all the italicized documents:

For this data:

Trying to get all documents:

Will yield:

info: length 2
info: fred  =>  { gender: 'male', contacts: [ '' ] }
      lisa  =>  { contacts: [ '' ] }

According to the Firebase documentation (Firebase: Add and Manage Data):

Warning: Even though non-existent ancestor documents appear in the console, they do not appear in queries and snapshots. You must create the document to include it in query results.

Note: The non-existent ancestor users seem to be auto-created when the user hits the sign-up button that triggers a firebase.auth() function (fred and lisa were created manually).

How would I print the contacts of each user if some of the users do not show up in my queries? Would I need to periodically run a script that manually re-adds all the users or is there a more elegant solution?
