RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Is Geneology software ready for this?
JoElayne; Thank you for this. I have FTM 2012 and it does let me show blended families but; I'm not familiar with what you mention below. Could you give me step by step directions? Can I go back after the 2nd spouse has been entered and do something to indicate on the step-parent's "page" that there are step-children?

Family Tree Maker is excellent if what you really want to make is a family scrap book, and you've little interest in anyone further back than your great grandparents.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Is Geneology software ready for this?
Cheri, you're correct; FTM will allow for multiple marriages. It won't show actively if you are looking at the marriage relationship of the second spouse, but it is there and will show in reports that are printed. The bottom portion will show something similar to a button indicating that one of the two people on the screen has had more than one marriage/spouse.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Is Geneology software ready for this?
The Master Genealogist (TMG) allows for more than 2 parents. It will display them all. I believe RootsMagic does as well. I have a genealogy software lecture and I use my friend's family because of the extra parent in there. I think FTM did allow it too, but I can't recall off the top of my head.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Is Geneology software ready for this?
I just figured out what is the question. In families where parents remarry, children have always have more than two parents. Adopted children also have more than two parents. According to what two professional genealogical organizations told me, good software presents reality in that situation. As far as I know, only two programs display all the parents and all the step siblings; PAF and Legacy. Possibly Rootsmagic too but I think its strength is its reports are pretty.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Is Geneology software ready for this?
My genealogy software (The Master Genealogist - TMG) allows for more than 2 parents. I have to set the biological parents and I can chose adoptive parents or whatever else to add more that 2 parents. These alternate parents appear in the Events section of an ancestor.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Is Geneology software ready for this?
In my opinion, you only record birth parents. There is a note section in most software to enter data such as adoptions, multiple marriages with no children, or any other type of data that a individual thinks is pertinent. One of my great grand mothers was placed in the wheel of the church. Her baptismos record listed Mai and Pai unknown. Her marriage record show her surname as Mendes. The Mendes raises her and were listed as her parents. I also have family members with out having any children. I list the first marriage in the software, any subsequent marriages without children, I enter the data in Note section.
