I have two families with half siblings but only one shows as half siblings. Not sure why. Terry

As I was writing my reply I had a nagging feeling there was something I was missing, but couldn’t work out what. The reason I don't actually use Step 1 is that it gives a false record at times. By that I mean it appears to show *ALL* children of a couple, when actually they aren't. Best explained by example. My first husband had 4 children to his first wife. Then we had a child of our own. Correctly, those 5 children show up under our marriage. However, I have since remarried, to a man who had two children with his first wife. Under our marriage I see my first husband's four children, my own daughter, and my second husband's two children. Now the first four children have nothing to do with my second husband, and I don't want them showing in our marriage. So, I choose NOT to Show half siblings, but in the cases where I want to see half siblings I add all children to their natural parents, and to the marriage of the natural parent with the step parent.
