Ron, thanks for your reply. I did see the earlier post about linking children to both sets of parents.
I'm sure there is some underlying reason why linking to both sets of parents is necessary, but it seems to me Legacy be able to list all children in the appropriate birth order without having to manually link them to their step parent. As they say, it is what it is. Thanks again for your help.
