Congratulations to the newly elected Board members and executive of APG.
What changes and growth I have seen since becoming a member about 1983,
and how promising the future looks!

Would some kind person help me with a relationship question? My
daughters have posed a question. Their father has re-married a woman who
has a step-son by her first marriage (she has no children of her own).
My daughters want to know if there is a term for their relationship to
the stepson of their new stepmother. Obviously there is no mutual
parent.

My credibility as the "family history authority" may suffer enormously
if I can't give a half-way decent answer (actually I don't think they're
related at all, but possibly they want to be). Help!
