Mike: I have a similiar situation with 3 of my daughters children. What I did was to list them first under my daughter and her husband using thier married last name. Then using the parent icon (4th from the right on the childs screen) I clicked on Add New Parents. Here you can enter information about the biological parents. This is the same screen where you indicate the relationship of the child to both her adopted and biological parents. I also have her given name (that given by her biological parents) listed under the AKA icon since her adopted name (first & last) is different. A Descendant Report shows the childs name and her AKA. It does not indicate biological parents, but I could be missing something. Hope this helps Jim Stapleton -----Original Message----- From: k...@legacyfamilytree.com [mailto:k...@legacyfamilytree.com] On Behalf Of michael barberi Sent: August 30, 2009 6:23 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Adoption
I have an ancestor with the surname CASSEBEER. However she was adopted by a STEINWAY family as a child. I recorded her surname as Cassebeer. Some questions: 1. Do I record her surname as CASSEBEER followed by a parenthesis (Steinway)? 2. Do I record her surname as CASSEBEER but create and Event/Fact describing her adoption and new surname STEINWAY? If so, any tree charts will not show her name as STEINWAY. 3. He marriage record says that a STEINWAY (not a CASSEBEER) got married. Do I include notes about her adoption in the Event/Fact MARRIAGE, etc. Mike Barberi In necessariis unitas, in dubiis libertas, in omnibus autem caritas.
