Marliea, I am not at all sure that I agree with your definition of 1/2 siblings in so far as it is based on having a common biological parent. Particularly, I would suggest, in view of the adoptions you would be 1/2 by adoption at least.
If you attach them to the correct parents as biological ( or leave blank) and to the Step Parent as adopted and click show 1/2 kids then they will all show up for both sets of parents as 1/2 kids. If it is your wish to use some other term rather than 1/2 then as far as I know this cannot be done.

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 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!
