Foster child and step child are two different things.
Foster child ... "a child raised by someone who is not its natural or
adoptive parent"
Step child ... "a son or daughter from another marriage of a person's
wife or husband"

Gene:
You're correct about the term, of course. "Stepchild" was the word used in
the original documents but in today's terminology they would probably be
foster children. (I don't think there was any actual adoption.) Changing
the children's settings doesn't appear to have any effect on the Descendant
Book Report, though, and probably wouldn't be reflected in my GEDCOM posted
at RootsWeb--which is what I'm really after--except perhaps in Notes or
Events (which I don't post).
Is it hopeless then?

Is there a way that I can include Margaret's nieces

Frederick and Margaret? How?
Kirsten
They would not be step-children, they would be at most adopted. This can be
indicated under
children's settings.
