The only bit that is clear to me is that they are your half uncle &

In the last week there has been extensive discussion on which surname
to enter for adopted children. I suggest you check the archive
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
You would follow your examples, but no parenthesis around the word

So in my example, the four placeholders are: St. Louis, St. Louis

Apart from yourself who has used the term "demeaning"? Showing sensitivity
