Don, I think Kurt was saying that you can change the parent-child relationship to say Biological yourself - it is already set as Biological as default, it just appears as a blank. Cases where setting a child to Biological would be needed would be within blended or adoptive families, to help clearly identify which children are step-children of which parent and/or which children are adopted or fostered etc. Leaving the setting blank will do no harm to your files - and changing it for every single person will only waste time *grin*
