Child's biological father dies while child is an infant.

A cousin had a child out of wedlock. I entered her, her son and the child's

Hi Ron
I've often wondered how best to show this and agree with what you have said.
Have you figured out a way to present this more accurately in say descendant

same way as natural children. Maybe we need additional wording
Have you checked the report option to include Child Status and
Child-Parent Relationships?
That distinguishes adopted children from natural.

Kathy, has anyone mentioned that if you have more than one spouse, the

That is at the time the multiple marriages are first
