Max, I do not have the latest version, but It is very easy to see if it is a problem with BK. 1. Choose any person with two sets of persons; say it is person #1. 2. In the Gedcom export dialog box, click "Selected People" 3. In the number of generations, put 2. 4. In the "Select the people to copy to the Gedcom file", click "Ancestors of a person" 5. In the Select person" box, put the number of the person with two sets of parents: in my example, #1 6. If both sets of parents were actually selected, the next screen (actually the "Select the people..." again) would show 5 people selected -- the person with 2 parents and both sets of parents (if they are all distinct). In the version I am using, only 3 people are selected. You have brought up a serious question.

Max, I hate to disagree in my BK 6.5.6 version of BK the following is generated 0 @I2245@ INDI Items deleted and not necessary for this discussion 1 FAMC @F699@ 1 FAMC @F613@ 1 ADOP 2 FAMC @F699@ As you can see he is assigned to two different families.

Dear Jim, Thanks for your mail, but I have a question. If I understood you very well, you show the case of adopted children. Do you have of them also the natural parents in the database? That is the case in my situation natural parents and foster parents (not adopted). I could not see that in your example. Fine that you try to help me.
