I have exactly the same problem with my grandmother's family... where the adopted children show twice - as half-siblings to themselves. So instead of three kids, I have 5. grgrgr

Subject: [LegacyUG] Why Do I Show As My Own Half Sister?
The situation is that a man had 3 children with his 1st wife before she
passed away. A woman had 1 child with her 1st husband before he passed
away. The man and woman then met and married and had a child together. The
man then adopted the woman's child from her 1st marriage (which is me).
I've entered dad's 1st marriage with 1st wife and 3 children, and mom and
her 1st marriage with 1 child (me), and then their marriage and the child
they had together. All relationships look fine at this point. But when I
link myself to my mom's 2nd marriage with my adoptive father (so I am linked
to 2 sets of parents: my mother and birth father, and my mother and my
adoptive father), I am shown as a daughter of the 2nd marriage plus as a
half sibling from my mother's marriage with my birth father. (so I am shown
as a full daughter and a half sibling to myself). Plus the relationships
are wrong with the other children from both marriages. I followed
instructions I found on the Legacy Website regarding this situation, but I
have ended up linking and unlinking myself so many times trying to get it
right, I am at a lost at what to try next.
Basically, I need help on how to add myself as a natural daughter of my
mother and birth father (which I think I have done correctly), and again as
an adopted daughter of my mother's marriage to my adoptive father. I hope I
have explained this correctly, and thanks in advance for any help.
