Everyone seems to be missing my point. In FO you can enter TWO sets of parents for anyone. This is for the express purpose of getting adopted children to show up in the reports of their adopted families as well as in their birth families. If you highlight the child who is not showing in the ancestor's children, and enter another set of parents for her - - her real father and her step-mother in this case -- then she WILL show up in the ancestor book if you choose to include the children of the ancestors.

I believe that this is an unfortunate limitation of the database that Bruce tries to prevent (or at least make us aware of) via the Problem List. I sure wish the program warned of this problem sooner because it makes for a really messy pedigree if you blindly import a gedcom without checking everything carefully. -- Happy Hunting!! -- Paul Houston, TX, USA ICQ #73314929 Researching: VA - WHITE,LIPSCOMB,HILL,JOHNSON,SAUNDERS, TALBOT,TATE,EVANS NC - SMITH, BOSWELL, RHODES, CAPEHART,MORRIS, MARSHE, BRITT,SHAW View my American Ancestry at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~paulrsmith **************** FREE Credit Card Referral Program.
