Hello out there. Was just wondering - How did it come about that "step" became associated children of another marriage ie "step son", "step-father" etc,etc.. Seems to me that a "stepchild" would be one that had been left on a step/stoop by someone who didn't want them rather than the issue of a bona fide marriage. Nothing to do with the list - just a question that I asked myself as I was reading. Clyde
