My father adopted to males during his second marriage and changed their surnames from Shafer to Ellis. The off springs from these two males also have the Ellis surname. I'm not sure how I should have listed these two adopted males. I have linked them to my father and his second wife with the Ellis surname and shown in the child status as father adopted and mother biological. Then I linked them to their biological father with the Ellis surname even though their original surname is Shafer. Should I have used their biological surname with both sets of parents. If I did that, then their children would the wrong surname and I would have to make a change there and explain why. Is their a better way to do this. It seems that this name change thing will put a hiccup in my research.
