Hello Otto, John Steed and all, The Ancestor reports show ancestors of adopted, step and foster children incorrectly. You can indicate that a child is adopted by both parents and it will list as though they are the person's natural parents on a register or indented book report by saying (son of or (daughter of so and so and so and so). The pedigree listing in the alternative register book report assumes the pedigrees are natural ones when they can be through adoption. Worst of all, any ancestry charts where adopted, step, foster children are shown will assume a linkage as though the parents are natural ones when they're not. Help! Help! It seems as though the ancestry report isn't checking the right parent-type linkages before drawing up the ancestor tree. Andrew Jackett of New Zealand.
