Rita, I't a bit late here, and I've had a long day, so my apologies. I follow the the part about what you did, but am unsure about the part about what kids are showing up where and how!
So, this is what you should have. On the Spouse Screen (click the Spouse Icon), your aunt should have the two marriages with the first marriage at the top. The two children in question should be linked to this first marriage. The next bit depends on how you wish to show these two kids. You can leave them just linked to the first marriage and they will show as half-kids on the Family View screen for the second marriage. Or additionally you can link them to the second marriage as either step, or adopted. In which case they will show twice on Family View and also in Reports. Hope that helps.
