HELP!! I have been using Legacy for several years and REALLY like it but I have one thing that I have not figured out. I am not sure of how to handle step-children correctly.
My cousin has 2 children of her own (by 2 different husbands) and 3 step-children that belong to her third husband. When I am looking at the Family screen, all of her children show up with their fathers listed in prefaces but none of the step-children. If I click on her third husband, his children show up with their mother's name in prefaces. I thought the way to fix this was to set his childrens' relationship to her as step, but that did not get the desired results. (Also when I try to use the blue drop-down arrows in the relationship field, I get a run time error that shuts Legacy down. Anyone know why??) After I set his children as her step-children, they show up as if they are THEIR children. What do I have set incorrectly?? Along the same lines - I use the Book - Descendents - Narrative to print my family information and this does not include the step-children at all, until I linked them to their father and my cousin as their parents, but then it shows them out of birth order (the step-children are older than her children and they are listed after her children). PLEASE, PLEASE someone tell me what I am doing incorrectly. Thanks in advance!!!
