I was only pondering about a feature and wondering if others also had ideas to
formulate a real suggestion. If you are truly interested in this 1/2 kid
problem, I will send you a detailed document with screen shots that illustrates
some of the problems. The current program does show the missin
Ron,
We already display the name of the other spouse following the child's
name when showing half kids in family view. Isn't that enough to show
that the child is not biological to both the current parents? Or do you
mean where a child is adopted and is not the product of any previous
union of one
Ron,
Agreed...
If they could put the little icon in the right upper corner of the
childrens' container, in front of the child name, and then when you
mouseover that symbol it would display the child status and relationships.
So many more places could use mouseover events
all of those icons on th
Brian's suggestion is really the only logical way to show children from
multiple marriages that lived together in the same household. The "View>Show
1/2 Kids" will display children from multiple marriages even when they never
did live in the same household simply because the child is linked in
GREAT suggestion Brian !
What a good way to show the programmers what we are thinking when making a
change.

Kathy,
Please dont keep your thoughts to yourself,
BUT try to step back and look at the big picture, both from the programming
aspect and from users side.
We all want to improve things but those changes have to be weighed on how
they will affect current users or programming logic.
As Ron mention
I rise to concur w/ Kathy that it is confusing to look at
the CHILDREN list and find it chrono-unsorted.
Seems to me that if the program can keep track of which
child goes to each marriage--and flag it, it ought to be
able to do a chrono sort on 'em.
This would be useful in a number of ways, par
When you know that children of previous marriages for either party were
living in the household (from census or whatever sources) you can easily
link those children to the family (that husband wife combo) then set the
relationship to each parent as step or biological. Once you do that the

forget it then - never mind - I'll keep my ideas and thoughts to myself
since they seem to be so hard to grasp by others

yes, create an event called Census and then use one of the parents as head
of household then via shared events add all the others who were living in

But you cant expect the pc program to know who from the first or second
family was still living with the third family. , unle
Kathy, If you can explain how you would accomplish that logically in the
programming side, it might be doable.

We all have different wishes, needs and desires. What works for one
does not necessarily work for another.
Why don't you make a suggestion to Legacy to provide that option?
There's a link for that on the Legacy Home page. :-)

I understand and agree that any children of the current marriage should
show first, but why do the ½ kids have to be separated quite so starkly
with all of his kids shown first, then all
