How shall we present the "not-direct-children" to the report. A child, whether it is adopted, foster or Step, have some connection to the family and many will have them as ordinary children and I understand that. Some wish to separate the from the reports and some not. But some wish also to have "clean" "boodline" as in a DNA-test I believe most do wish two basic report: - a clean "line" as in DNA and that I think is most easy to make. - a mixed report where also the "children" is included. The question (I believe) are how many generation up are to be included. They are a part of the family for the present living family, but when does that stop ? I believe JS will mange to make some good results for charts, reports, but I believe that will take some time to do. :) -- Otto Jørgensen http://home.online.no/~otjoerge/ All email is checked by NIS2014
