Hi - I run into this problem from time to time, and perhaps John has fixed it in the new version. However - Often I find a child living with his grandparents with their surname. Is he the child of the son of these grandparents? Or his he the illegitimate child of one of the daughters of these grandparents? All I really know is the surname of his grandparents. But BK will not let me link the child to his grandparents unless I name one of his parents as a male or female. I have no way of knowing this. Work around? Thanks. Carole
Interesting problem. You could perhaps link the child to his/her grandparents as being adopted by them, and add a hidden note to that effect.

might not be correct but what I do is add an "unknown" child to the grandparents with a female gender, then link the child to unknown with a note stating I don't really know to which child of the grandparents the child belongs, nor the gender of the parent and probably never will. If, in the census the child is listed as g'child, then I add that source to the entry.

A chilld is registrated as a child of his parents (one or both, depending for information) If other do take care of the child, we can eter those couple (he, she or both) as doptive, foster, step og other Secind oparents to the child. It is only to think the correct lines and add information as it is in the present situation. Not more or not less -- Otto Jørgensen http://www.bkwin.info/ All email is checked by NORTON
