Judy, You might want to play around with this a bit in the sample database before you make this sort of change for a whole family. Look into what you use "relationship to father" and "relationship to mother" for now, and will adding the new "step" relationship affect that? What do you want to see printed on reports, etc. If you want to see "adopted" on some children elsewhere in the report but don't want to see "step" printed for these children, you will have a dilemma, e.g.
Try running the report for the woman first to see if you get all the information you want. Or is this family in the middle of a line? --Paula ________________________________ From: Ron Taylor <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2013 10:27 PM Subject: Re: FW: [LegacyUG] print other spouse also in Descendants book Judy, First, connect the children to the step parents in addition to the biological parents then set the Relationship to Father and Relationship to Mother as "Step" for that family. You may have to add that Status. Then the reports should work as you expected.

There was not any adoption. -----Original Message----- From: Brian/Support [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, September 23, 2013 9:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: FW: [LegacyUG] print other spouse also in Descendants book What you want is not possible in Legacy without distorting the biological links. Those children are not biological descendants of the starting person so they cannot be included in a Descendant Report for him/her. You could link those children of the other spouse to the person who is a direct descendant and then they will appear but with your explanation I am not sure which "family" they should be linked to as children. Once they are linked to the descendant person you can change the parent child relationship (is the descendant a step parent? did they adopt the children?) to clarify why they are "children".

I should be able to get all the family players printed out for the whole family picture.
