On the screen with parents - cousin's hubby and cousin he is there as 1/2 .
If I attempt to access chiidren's settings from that screen by clicking on the elder child who is a step child I end up at their younger bio child's record instead. I can only reach child settings for the first child from the screen with his bio father as far as I can tell. If I give the child two sets of parents - bio/mother and father - bio/mother and stepfather I can get a descendant report that includes most of what I want but also has too much duplication. Like this: Janet had a relationship with xxxx YYYYY [4011] [MRIN: 1367]. This couple did not marry. xxxxx was born in Canada. Their child was: 2 M i. Nicholas BBBBBBB[307] was born .......

If I was just working with a few people, going back and editing wouldn't be hard. Problem is that with more than 4,000 people in my file if I do this for this and several other similar cases I fear that there will be more editing than I'd like. I'm less concerned with distant relations but these are a first cousin's family. Maybe I'll just have to edit.

It sounds like you have linked him to the couple (cousin/counsin's husband) but he does not show up as a child on the screen? Or he does show up there but not when you right click and select "Children's settings" Neither make sense to me. Am I missing something?
