I was thinking that some of the other Genealogy programs out there can
show 1/2 children and multiple marriages etc in charting?
I can't remember but it seems like I have seen a few that do this.
anyone else know?

There is no problem showing the 1/2 children in Legacy. What I need
is a chart such as descendancy that would show these children that
are related by marriage and not blood.
Your problem is that Legacy (and Legacy Charting) are *genealogy*
programs and genealogy is based on blood relationships. You cannot
have a "descendancy" chart which shows non-blood relatives because
they are not descendants! Legacy will show 1/2 children because
Legacy shows them as part of a family unit of parents-and-children
and they are related by blood to one of the parents. (Even if you
indicate a child is fostered, adopted or whatever, Legacy assumes a
blood-relationship between that child and the parents in the parent
position when you enter the child.)
