This is easy.
You have a child from the original Mum and Dad parents who has a
relationship with her step-father. You simply go to the child record in
the Family view and add her step-father as a 'husband', flagged as not
being a marriage, and then add her child to that relationship. Also
works in the case of a child who had a child by her father.
For the child who had a child with no known father, you just add the
child to her record and let the system create a 'fake, non-existent'
father (only occurs usually if you create a GEDCOM from it).

Subject: [LegacyUG] adding illegitimate children
Hello all: This is my first question to ‘the group’ and I trust you
will be patient while I find my way around.
I have looked at the Legacy help pages and most of the group posts on
the subject matter but still cannot find the ‘right’ way to achieve the
results I am trying to create.
The actual situation I’m trying to record comes from a ‘ regular’
family where Dad married Mum and they had several children but
unfortunately Dad died young.
Mum then remarried (her second husband thus becoming stepfather to the
children from her 1st marriage).
What followed, has caused my recording problem as three of Mum’s
daughters each had a child prior to marriage.
The biological father of two of those children proved to be the
aforementioned stepfather – for the 3rd child the father was unknown.
I can’t seem to include the two (stepfathered) children without Mum
being shown as their mother (she would actually be their grandmother !)
by virtue of her being the wife of their father (the stepfather, Mum’s
2nd husband) nor can I avoid the stepfather (the biological father of
Mum’s daughters’ children) being shown as the husband of Mum’s two
daughters who bore the stepfather’s two children !
The ‘unknown’ father of the 3rd daughter’s child is less of a problem
until that daughter marries (but not to ‘unknown’) and starts her own
family, when her pre-marriage child is then shown as the son of her new
(1st) husband.
This latter problem also occurs with the other two daughters and their
pre-marriage children (fathered by the stepfather) when they marry for
the first time and start their own families with their new (1st)
husbands.
Please HELP me to record these events correctly.
Many thanks, stay well, best wishes from.....Phil Grace
