As has been discussed many times on this list, this is normal behavior. A child will print out under her natural parents and not under a step parent (unless the pedigree has been falsified of course) and it would be improper for it to display otherwise. Add the half-sister in the father's notes and/or print out a separate report showing the natural parents. Displaying both pedigrees would show the step relationship. -- 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.

It is just totally absurd to say that it is improper to show an adopted child as a child in her adopted family. People who are adopted and people who adopt children consider them the same as their own children and the children also consider themselves to be just as much a part of that family as any of the rest. To say that they should not be there is nothing but crass insensitivity and I for one am getting tired of hearing this same old broken record. Wayne League
