Ron, Terry answered this question. All TMG output which calculates ancestor/descendant relationships *only* uses the Primary parent/child relationships no matter the name or title of those Relationship tags. Then Karla Huebner wondered: > Just curious--how do people handle this? Karla, The "short" answer is to make any Relationship tag which is not Bio a non-Primary tag. Then use Second Site for your output and be sure to _not_ check "Omit Non-Prmary Parents" in the Database options. That way family trees are strictly genetic, but a person's Second Site page will show and name their relationship to the "other" parents. The "much longer" answer is that it depends on what kind of relationships you want to see in TMG reports or in Second Site when it calculates family trees. Since I am adopted and have several adoptions in my projects I have thought about this a lot. My on-line book has a large separate section on dealing with adoptions in TMG. It goes into extensive detail about two separate methods for recording adoptions in TMG, along with descriptions of several custom tag types which I have found useful to fully document such events.
