First, to make it work, you must link the step-kids to two sets of parents: their birth parents and their current parents. For the wife, the kids should appear twice: once as normal (with the ex-husband) and then as stepkids for your son. Start off this way: 0) Switch off the 1/2 kids setting - it's confusing you! 1) Enter your son's wife's first marriage 2) Add the two children 3) Now, add your son, and 4) Add a marriage for him and the wife 5) Add the daughter 6) Now with your son as the selected parent 7) Link the two children to him and his wife - there should now be 3 8) In the Children's Settings for the two kids, set the Relationship to father as 'Step' 9) Now try the FGS for your son. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
