Re: [LegacyUG] Adopted person
I record a name change event for the person to the adoptive parent's surname. That puts the birth name and adoptive surname in the chronology of the person. When searching for records I will know to use the birth name until the adoption and the adoptive surname afterwards, especially if the adoption was later in life such as an orphan. If I do not know the date for the adoption I will add an about date.

Re: [LegacyUG] Adopted person
Hi Terry I would add the biological mother + father parents first. Then add the biological child subject. Right-click on the child. Select child settings Fill in relationships to parents ie biological etc. Then in family view add adopted parents by by clicking on the + at the top of the biological parents' name Add their details Right-click on the child again and fill in relationships as adopted and also click on the set to preferred child button. This is how I do it successfully.
