Hi Mary,
As I understand your question, you want to be able to distinguish between
biological children and adopted children in a family report, even though
they both have the same surname.
I think if you set child-parent relationships for each child by right
clicking on the child in the Family View and selecting "Children's Settings"
and then in the boxes for setting the child relationship to the father and
mother indicate "Adopted" or "Biological" and then setting your options on
the report menu to include Child-Parent relationship the report will
identify for each child whether they are adopted or biological regardless of
what their surname may be.
Does that help?
Ken

Thanks, Tom, for your clear advice.

If there was no legal adoption then the child should not be

So, I have marked her as "Foster".
......she should be listed with her own bio nuclear family.
Yes, she is there also
if the bio family is blood related then that is the end of it
The baby's mother died soon after the birth, and she was placed with a
young couple only just married, two years before they had their first
child. I feel she was probably related ... but not yet found the link.
if she was the child of a non related
family, i. e. friend, and raised as one of their own then it is not so
easy .. you can leave her off the children listing ...
Prefer to have her listed with the family she knew as her own.
If you decide to list her be sure to use the
proper surname, not the name of her new family
This is the nub of my original query - the family sentence in DNBR
does *not* make any *difference* between her and the 3 bio children,
it implies they all have the same surname.. But I guess I must accept
that and be very careful to annotate everywhere I can <vbg>
Cheers,
Mary Young
