Hi Again.
Your comment about alternate parent relationships being so rare
interested me. So I searched my database of 49,510 individuals for
not biological relationships and turned up 37 entries. All of those
are for families living in the last 150 years and likely represent
only a portion of all those that have gone undocumented. But I would
submit that 37 occurrences is sufficient to make the Parent Link
meaningful for the general user base for PAF.
