That *is* how it works. One can, however, also set their relationship to the nonbiological 'parent' as step, which, indeed, is what they are. David's comment, whilst stictly genealogically accurate, is, in my view, over prescriptive, especially for users who are interested in family relationships, rather than blood lines.
In fact given the historically high proportion of children who have been attributed to a spouse as their father, rather than the milkman, I would take bets that pretty well every genealogist has a non-bloodline relative somewhere in their trees.

That's how I have done mine and I see all the children of all marriages in the View but the children of an earlier marriage show up with a notation against them. Not sure if this is what you are looking for though On 3 September 2010 23:06, Kathy Meyer <kmeyer2...@gmail.com> wrote: View - Children's List - Highlight the child then choose from the dropdown box his/her relationship to the father and to the mother. That should clarify each sibling's relationship to the others. I haven't created a report with that though so I'm not sure if a report actually indicates their relationship to each other.

How do you designate a half-brother/sister or step-brother/sister on Legacy and it appears on the screen/report?
