Hi Valeria, Sorry about the extra email, I have two email addresses and my email program goes crazy occasionly by using both addresses for one email, don't know why it happens. I haven't yet been able to sort out the relationship problem with FTM. I have the first wife set as "preferred" and I have the right children with the right mother in the right order in both cases. But when I do a calculation it still shows the children of both marriages having the same relationship to me. That is "2nd great grand aunt". The same problem occurs with my father's step sister, FTM calculates her as my "aunt" instead of my "half or step Aunt" I do thank you for your suggestions, but I'm now thinking that it must be a weakness in the program.
