Re: [LegacyUG] Adopted child

[Brian Kelly]

I would enter the child as her's without adding a father. I would then 
link the child to her parents and indicate the child to parent 
relationship between the child and those parents as Adopted.


I would use the available birth certificate as a source for all those 
but would add a note to the source (probably in the Source comments) 
with my suspicions that the document replaced the true birth 
certificate. In the note you can include any evidence you have about the 
situation.

[LegacyUG] Adopted child

[Ed Ladendorf]

I have a situation where an unmarried girl gave birth. When it was obvious
that she was not ready to be a parent, her parents adopted the child, and
there was a birth certificate made, showing the grandparents as parents. I
think the original birth certificate was destroyed, so it appears that the
grandparents were the biological parents, although this is known to be
false. How would you enter this information?  Biological father is unknown.

[LegacyUG] adopted child

[kjfickett]

hi

I keep getting a problem list on one child. She was born 1975 her parents 
divorced.
Her adopted father adopted her as an adult 2013 for estate reasons. The problem 
list
tells me  The Person was born before the marriage of his/her parents. HOW do 
I correct this?
I have entered mark as not a problem BUT it does not stay. The next time I run 
the list she re-appears.
Help, how do I stop this? What do I enter?

Also, I have a family( 10 children) that I have only the civil marriage date 
NOT the church
date  I get the children were born prior to the marriage date. Again, how do I 
stop the message so,
I can review and correct the real errors.

Phyllis

[LegacyUG] Adopted child

[Tony Rolfe]

This is my first time facing this particular problem, so I want to get
it right.  How should I record this person?

He appears in 1881 as Percy Turner, born abt 1876 in Fletching, Sussex.
  He is shown as a nephew of George Lay and Hannah nee Langridge.

Hannah's parents were George Langridge and Harriet Turner, so it seems
likely that Percy was the grandchild of one of Harriet's siblings.
Unfortunately, I don't have any of her siblings recorded.

By 1891, he is still with George and Hannah and is recorded as their
adopted nephew Percy T. Lay (known as).  Presumably the T is for Turner.

I've searched for his baptism without success, but I appear to have his
birth from FreeBMD.  Even if I get his birth certificate, and find his
parents, they almost certainly won't be in my database.

So, should I record him as a child of George and Hannah, even knowing he
isn't theirs?

What is the best way to deal with this?

Thanks in advance

Tony

RE: [LegacyUG] Adopted child

[Donna Newell]

In children's settings there is a drop down screen that you can make note of 
this.  Relationship to Father and Relationship to Mother.  The down arrow gives 
different suggestions, one is adopted.

RE: [LegacyUG] Adopted child marries a relative

[CE WOOD]

It doesn't matter what his last name is.  From his adoptive parents' page, add 
him as a brother to the other children.  OR From his page, link him to his 
adoptive parents. You show that he is adopted from the parents' page.  In the 
list of children, right click on him. Click on Children's Settings.  Make sure 
he is the highlighted child, and, at the bottom of the page, click the down 
arrow by Child Status and choose Adopted from the drop down list. Do the same 
for Relationship to Father and Relationship to Mother.

 I have a g.grandfather that was adopted and married the 1st cousin of
 the family. So on my tree it makes duplicates. How can I have my
 g.grandfather linked with the parents that adopted him and the
 children who he called his brother and sisters?  What is tricky is
 that this was in Italy and in Italy in the 1800's an adopted child did
 not get the surname of the family that adopted him.

Re: [LegacyUG] Adopted child

[Paula Ryburn]

Personally, I would add her with the adopted name, and her birth name as an AKA.
 Add her birth name in birth notes?  Add an adoption event for 1901 with birth
name and new name?  Etc.  I lean that way because you have no information on her
birth parents.  Should you decide to look into that further, you have the birth
notes and/or adoption event there.  Maybe add a To Do item right now?

At the very least, if my approach is not standard, it should prompt more
replies to your question. ;)

Hi all
I was wondering about an adoption I cam across and how to record it within my

The child was born 1897 without a father, no mother is stated either.
A family adopted here in 1901 and changed here name to their surname and also
changed her
christian names.  How would I record this successfully within my records so I
can easily find
it in the future.
Thanks heaps for any advice

Re: [LegacyUG] Adopted child

[Jackie King]

I had a similar problem for two children in about the same time frame.

We knew they were actual sisters - and the two families who adopted them
were headed by brothers - but no relation to the adopted children.

I've since found the parents of the two girls but before I did, I put
them in my database under their adopted names with their real surnames
(which I had) as AKA's. As Paula suggested, I did make some appropriate
notations in the birth notes -along with a reference line in my general
notes so that I would not miss the birth notes.

I have since made adjustments in those after finding the birth parents -
both of whom died of an epidemic within a few weeks of the younger
child's birth.

My remaining mystery is how my family ended up with the two girls when
they had a couple of aunts and uncles in the same general area.

Good luck

Jackie
