Jean,
If you have entered the three children of Wyllo with her first husband, then if you want them to show up in the descendant report as step children of Guy (and the focus of the descendant report is Guy), you will need to add them as step-children of Guy under Guy and Wyllo. After doing this, the entry for each of Guy’s step children will read similar to the examples below. Notice the last words. …. This is with child STATUS ticked on ‘include under Report Options’ Ethel Smith4 was born on 28 Jan 1923, died on 15 Apr 1979 in Texas at age 55, and was buried in Kilgore (Kilgore City Cemetery), Gregg County, Texas. (Biological Mother - Step Dad) …. This is with child-parent RELATIONSHIP ticked on ‘include under Report Options’ Ethel Smith4 was born on 28 Jan 1923, died on 15 Apr 1979 in Texas at age 55, and was buried in Kilgore (Kilgore City Cemetery), Gregg County, Texas. (Relationship to Father: Step, Relationship to Mother: Biological) To add the children to Guy as his step-children, go to Guy and Wyllo in the Family View, right click on Guy and choose to add a daughter or son. when the ADD screen comes up, you will need to click on the ‘Link to an existing person’ when the Name list comes up, locate the first child of Wyllo and her first husband, click on the child’s name and a screen will pop up, ‘This child is already a child of another family, add this child to this family also?’ Click OK and the child will also show up under Guy and Wyllo. Now you will need to right click on the child’s name and click on ‘children’s settings’. At the bottom of this screen, you will notice three choices: Child Status Relationship to Father Relationship to Mother Click on the down arrow by each selection and make your selections by highlighting the selection and clicking on Select. I can’t remember all of default entries but if none fit your situation, you can also create your own by clicking on ADD in the right hand side of this screen. Once you work through this a few times, it will become second nature to do this when working with blended families and you wish for the adopted or step children to be included where possible. If all I’ve done is manage to confuse, then please come back and ask again. There are many very knowledgeable Legacy Users on this forum who will be happy to help. Mary From: Jean Lesny [mailto:[email protected]] Hi all. I'm new to the list and have run into a snag regarding my Legacy Reports. When I print a Descendants Report, and I have a relative whose spouse was previously married, or married later, that information does not appear in the report. For instance: Guy married Wyllo (maiden name unknown). She was previously married to ____ Smith and had three children who became Guy's stepchildren. None of Wyllo's previous marriage information or children appear in the narrative, even though all that information has been entered under the "Additional Spouse" information. Is there a way to correct this (without creating duplicative information as an entry under "life events")?
