If you link a child to two families, although the child is recorded only once, but shows up in two families, you can set the child status, and child relationship to parents independently for each family. For example, in Family View showing my husband and self, my step-daughter’s ‘status’ is Step-daughter of Jan (I created that label – a more generic label could be step-daughter of wife), her relationship to father is biological, her relationship to mother is step. But if I view her in the marriage of my husband and his first wife all labels are blank because she is the biological daughter of both of them and I haven’t set labels. On the Family View in ‘our’ marriage she shows as step-daughter of Jan, on her biological parents’ Family View just her name and birth year are listed.

I was having trouble because the family view of the 2nd marriage had no natural children, so there was no child to right-click on. I went to the other marriage to right-click on a child's name and was able to turn it on. Sorry to have started all this confusion. However, once I link the two children to their step-father and set their relationship-to-father to "Step" --- the "1/2" goes away.
