Hi Chuck!
No problem with asking questions!
You can actually enter the children once, and then link them to more than
one set of parents. Then, under Child Status, you can specify which parents
are biological, and which are adopted.
As for which names to put them under, that is really up to you
Hi Chuck,
The only bit that is clear to me is that they are your half uncle &
aunt as, in my view, biological relationship is primary to adoptive

to enter for adopted children. I suggest you check the archive

Thanks for your advice. I do have them linked but I was unsure of which
Surname to use. The Surname from the Biological mother or the Surname that

You are right that they are my Biological half Uncle and half Aunt.
