If I'm understanding right, you have 3 marriages: Dumas1 (with deceased wife), Dumas2 (with Fraizer wife), and Fraizer (with unknown husband). I think you should have the child linked to the Dumas2 marriage (husband as step, wife as biological) and Fraizer marriage (husband and wife both as biological) but not to the Dumas1 marriage. Does that make sense?
