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).

The parent relationship check box is grayed out on the descendant book report so I guess that will
never show. On an individual report though, it does show as in the sample above for the child of
Samuel DAYTON. Perhaps the programmers can address this omission.
