I don't think so. What you are seeing is the same effect as mentioned in ot= her posts. The fact is that Legacy is very strict in its definition of a de= scendant being a blood relative. However=2C I may not be understanding the problem correctly=2C because on m= y Descendant Charts the 1/2 kids do show up. What I do is to link step and = adopted kids=2C who I wish to show=2C to both/all sets of parents and speci= fy the relationship to their parents (although normally I would not include= this on the reports). Maybe you could check this out using your DB.? I hope my email problems of yesterday have now gone away :-)=2C If not my a= pologies!
