John asked: Am I correct in assuming that you have your granddaughter linked to you as a foster or adopted parent, and to her birth parents as birth (blood) parents? Does Legacy get confused by this?
Answers: If I do a descendant report starting with my husband's father, it shows her child status under my husband and I as (Legal Custody). Then when it prints her mother (my husband's daughter) and her father's marriage, it shows her as their child also - I have put no child status linked to her biological parents. If I do an individual report for her, it shows Father: my husband (biological grandfather, legal guardian) this is the wording I put as relationship to father Mother: me (step grandmother, legal guardian) this is the wording I put as relationship to mother Father: her bio father (biological father) this is the wording I put as relationship to father Mother: her bio mother (biological mother) this is the wording I put as relationship to mother When you look at her record, the parent icon shows (2) - just as multiple marriages would show on the spouse icon.
