Oh my gosh, where did this come from? I never heard of such a thing..........but then I'm not an authority on anything either. My opinion is that everyone should be included...........with notes. Doris ----- Original Message ----- From: Dora Smith To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, December 01, 2006 7:54 PM Subject: [GEN-COMP-TIPS] Need sources on the idea that multiple spouses andstep children should not be listed in ancestor reports I've been in touch with the major professional genealogical organizations, and they are telling me that they ahve no rule against listing stepchildren, adopted children and foster children in genealogical reports. One of them wants to know my sources for thinking differently. Can some of you who hotly insist that only direct ancestors and children of same please give me your authority for this rule. It sounds like you got or from more than your own imaginations, vivid though they may be, but it needs to be pinned down.
