Hi Mary, No doubt I am confused as are others. In the Family View with husband #2 highlighted I see his 2 sons and step daughter as full children. Also see the step daughter as 1/2 child. She appears twice. Just the reverse with husband #1 highlighted. I see 2 sons and daughter as 1/2 and daughter also as full. Ditto with the lady highlighted. I believe this is because the daughter is linked to both husbands, to #1 as biological and to #2 as step. Just seems strange to me and to others that one would see the daughter twice. I prefer to leave the show 1/2 kids view. As you wrote I could un-tick this option. If I un-tick this option then the data is even more confusing. Then is shows the daughter as full child of each husband. Thank you for your interest in this. Ann
