I have a similar situation where my 2nd great granduncle adopted three children of his second wife's first marriage. I've recorded each child under the birth parents AND have them showing under my 2nd great granduncle as adopted (using the child status under children's settings). They only appear once in the file but correctly show under biological parents and adoptive parents. Each child has two sets of parents when you look at the parents icon in family view.

So the seven of us children were "step" but because later my father adopted her children and she adopted us we would like to be included in one another's family trees. They should be on my father's and we should be on their mothers. Does this make any sense to you? I know it's very confusing but we aren't 1/2 we are step and would like it shown that way on "trees". Thanks for any help you can provide for me on this situation.

If so all you need to do is attach them to the correct parents and they won't show as 1/2s (they won't show as step siblings either). Or am I missing something?

Can anyone tell me how to correct this? Thanks, Marilea We would have to have at least one common biological parent which we don't to be 1/2's. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mary Young <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Sunday, October 28, 2007 5:53 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Step children To see all her children Right-click on a visible child Select "View" Click on "Show 1/2 kids" -- Hope that helps!
