Hello John and list, I am using BK not only to track my ancestors, but also to maintain the data of all descendants of a 5x great-grandfather of mine. We regularly meet in family reunions and keep track of all the news of the descendants' families. This also brings a lot of modern forms of partnerships, that I do not know how to add to my BK data. How do you treat same-sex relationships of couples living together? In some countries/states it is possible to register these relationships (similar to a marriage). How do you add (adopted) children of such same-sex couples? Is there any way to enter this in BK? So far the program requires that partners must have opposite sex, I think. Looking forward to your feedback. Thank you. Bert from Germany .
