Hi Frederick,
The way I deal with this is as follows (if I can get it right!!)
1) Set Andrew Beverage and Janet Clark as married with a date say 1 year
before the birth of Margaret. (this sets the "marriages" in the correct
order)
2) Enter Margaret as their child
3) Enter the marriage between Richard Witters and Janet Clark
4) Enter any children from this marriage
5) Delete the marriage date for Andrew and Margaret
6) Set Marriage status as "unmarried" for Andrew and Margaret.
You can see how this come out on a web page at

Subject: [LegacyUG] Showing step child question & drop line report
Hi
A couple of questions please.
1) I need some advice about showing step children in relationships (and
in
reports).
The details are:
1) Margaret Beveridge bn 1872 to Janet CLARK & Andrew BEVERIDGE. Janet &
Andrew never married and did not even live together.
2) Almost immediately after the birth Janet married Richard Watters and
Richard became Margaret's step father for her whole life.
3) If I attach Margaret to both couples she appears twice on Janets
individual record.
4) If I have Margaret as a step child and only set as 1/2 child
relationship Janet does not appear on Richards record even though he was
the
same as a Father.
5) Is there a setting I am missing that flags someone as a step child so
they only appear once on the Mothers record and can appear on the fathers
and any Step fathers records (and shows as a step child rather than
daughter)?
2) I want to produce a compact drop line report just showing names,
birth,
death. can I do it in Legacy and if not is there any freeware I can do it
in? I currently put all details into excell and print 1page wide by 1
tall
but keying it all in is a bit time consuming.
thanks
Regards
Frederick (UK)
