To Otto I am not sure what you mean when you say BK does not show the adoption of a near family member correctly. You can attach the child to the birth parents. You can also attach the same child to the adoptive parents. The child will show on a Descendant report as a child of the birth parents, and will also show as an adoptive child of the adoptive parents. So BK does print the child in both places on most descendant reports. Most reports have an option to either print duplicate lines of descent or not print duplicate lines of descent when a person appears in two places. Perhaps you can email me a sample of which report is not printing correctly and I will check it out.

The question will be: Who is the mother and father Genetic Can be compared to adoption of the child to her sister and the sisters husband ? Surogatmother are not the genetic mother. I think BK can handle this. A miss in BK is that there are no differences in the way to handle adoptiv and biølogic children. My father in law had a cousin. The mother to the cousin died. The parent to my father in law adopted the child. And I have added the child to the program and marked it adoptiv and done the corect connection. That thild are now in two branches and children are in two branches and that is not in my opinion correct. We have to have a way to tell that the child is adopted and also to tell the program to differ in the presentatsion, both in reports and charts We have the Adoptive cousin treated as brother to my father and kaw and are treated as uncle to my wife, but sometimes we want to have separate alternatives. This as adopption of nearfamilymember is not unusual but BK does not handle that correct in chart and report. Anyway it is allrigth that we can add them and mark them, but miss the way to handle the branches in reports. -- Otto Jørgensen http://home.online.no/~otjoerge/ All email is checked by NIS2014 Remember - Use the Archives at http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/search ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
